Sadly, I am not surprised at all. Similar things are happening in Canada as well. Our friends have just been denied their stay in Canada after living here for three years under the refugee status. The husband of the family died suddenly a year after their arrival. The widow was informed by the officials that her chances of staying would be far ... See Moregreater if the husband had still been alive. Hmmm... Where does it say that the death of a spouse changes anything regarding the status? If anything, it should make the case stronger. But then again, who knows what's cooking under them top hats...

My grandmother told me never to tell anyone because people thought it was bad to be Gypsy. I didn't understand what that meant, so I did as I was told. Since then, I have become more understanding of what it means. I studied and now I teach the Roma Holocaust. I write, I educate outsiders, and I am proud of who and what I am. All Roma, take pride in your heritage. Educate one person a day about what is real about us and then we can change the world.
