complained about the publishing on the site of the County Police Inspectorate H. of certain notices regarding crimes, which mention the ethnic origin of certain perpetrators as compared to others, whose ethnic origin is not mentioned. The Committee set down that by publishing unverified information and with strict reference to the ethnic affiliation of some perpetrators only, a negative image of the Roma community was generated. Through decision no. 351 of 14.11.2005, the Committee ascertained that the notified deeds are discrimination and it sanctioned the defendant by warning. (art. 2 par. 3 and art. 19 of G.O. no. 137/2000 subsequently amended and supplemented).

148. Evacuation. Displacement and location of houses near the water purifying station. Ethnic origin. Roma. A.I. complained on behalf of several Roma families regarding the fact that following evacuation from a building in a state of degradation, they were displaced immediately near the water purifying stations, in improper conditions in terms of environment and housing. The Committee set down that the right of those families to a healthy environment was interrupted, as the authorities could have found an alternative to the area where the location was settled. Through decision no. 366 of 23.08.2005, the Committee set down that the notified deeds are discrimination and it decided to sanction the defendant by fine amounting to 4000 RON (art. 2 par. 1,2 and 3, art. 17 of G.O. no. 137/2000, with amendments and additions).

149. Political statements. Ethnic origin. Roma. Personal dignity. European Center for Roma Rights complained about the public statements made by Mr. C.V.T. during a broadcast by Radio Romania, which were printed by the newspaper Romania Mare and available on the website of the publication. Among others, were issued opinions on persons belonging to the Roma community, in comparison with the majority population: „the gypsies, thieves and rapists threaten”, „if some Romanians defended their honour and did not allow some beasts with human face to slaughter them, beasts who always robbed them and abused them, they must also leave their villages, where their parents and ancestors lived", "who defends people with fear of God from some beasts who would immediately grab a knife, an axe or a ninja-sword"? "Romanians, defend your brothers from the wounded heart of Romanian Transylvania!”. Defend them both against Gypsy attacks and raids and against the abuses of a political regime willing to leave death bodies behind hoping to be praised by some slyboots who do nothing in a Europe where, because of this extremely corrupt regime , we will not be accepted…”. The defendant claimed that his statements express a political opinion, formulated in his capacity of representative of the Parliament. The Committee set down that the statements under analysis emphasize references to persons in which a distinction is made on

the criterion of ethnic origin. The assessment, approach and presentation of the people's situation is diametrically opposite, thereby infringing the dignity of persons belonging to the Roma community. On the other hand, the Committee set down that the statements were made as a senator, as a representative of a political party within a radio broadcast of a political nature, being restricted to supporting the political platforms of parties, thus it was not decided to apply a contraventional sanction. Through decision no. 9 of 17.01.2006, the Committee set down that the notified deeds cumulatively meet the elements of direct discrimination (art. 2 par. 1 and 3 and art. 19 of G.O. no. 137/2000, republished).

150. Statements. Racial origin. Colour. Personal dignity. N.I.C complained about the statements made by the building manager to her husband, Mr. N.A. In a discussion in which there was a witness, a co-habitant with Ms. N.I., the building manager used insulting words against the husband of the petitioner, such as " crow fallen from the tree who came to establish order in his building" or "this nigger came to establish order in my building". Following the investigations and affirmative statements of the parties that there was a verbal conflict with racist meaning from Mr. S.I., through decision no. 42 of 09.02.2006, the Committee ascertained that the statements in question are a direct discrimination and they offend personal dignity. Also, it was decided to sanction the defendant by warning (art. 2 par. 1 and art. 19 of G.O. no. 137/2000, republished).

151.     Press articles. National origin. Lipovans. Ukrainians. Personal dignity. D.N. complained about the publishing of
certain articles which concern his situation or that of Romanian citizens of Ukrainian nationality which use defamatory
statements or comments. The articles entitled: „C.I. accuses N.M. of murder”, „C.I. sued the poet N.D. for slander”, „After
