Panhellenic Confederation of Greek Roma

An investigation has been launched in the southwestern port town of Patra after a 35-year-old Roma man was asked at a local car dealership to kneel down to sing Christmas carols on New Year's Eve and was set on fire "for fun."

Greece's Roma reacted on Thursday to an amendment passed through Parliament on Tuesday which foresees the resettlement of thousands of the community's members in 70 new camps without prior consultation.
