I found a number of resources that could be use to flesh out the article more. They are compiled into a tumblr post (don't laugh) but they are released by the Council of Europe. Dunno how good they are, haven't sat through all of them yet. Thoughts ? Wykked Wytch (talk) 21:24, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Forced sterilisation in communist countries?

Judging by what I could find elsewhere (see, e.g., Wikipedia articles “Compulsory sterilization” and “Roma in the Czech Republic” and references therein), saying that “Roma were targeted for forced sterilisation” is at least a gross overstatement, and at most completely wrong. Apparently the strongest claims Romani make is that women were not “properly informed of what the ‘sterilisation’ meant” (never mentioning whether their Czech counterparts fared any better) — a far cry from discriminatory forced sterilisation of targeted ethnicities.
