The case was brought by 18 Roma children from the city of Ostrava in the Czech Republic who had been assigned to special remedial schools for the “mentally deficient.” In Central and Eastern Europe, Roma are often unfairly placed in these special schools, which provide sub-par education that all but guarantees a life of poverty and manual labor.
这起诉讼是由捷克共和国俄斯特拉法市18个罗姆孩子提起的。这些孩子因为“智力缺陷”而被分配去特殊的补习学校。在中欧和东欧，罗姆人被不公平地分配入特殊的学校里，那里为罗姆人提供极低的教育，只能让他们干体力活并过着贫困的生活。
