ITA 1/2012 Italy Adequate housing; Minority issues; Racism; Alleged imminent forced eviction of approximately 350 Roma people from the Tor de‘ Cenci camp in Rome. According to information received, over 350 people of Roma ethnicity are facing eviction from the Tor de‘ Cenci camp in Rome, where they have been living for up to 16 years. The camp was opened by local authorities in 1995 in an area offering adequate services to residents. Authorities planned to complete the eviction by 10 July 2012 and to resettle the Roma families in a new camp called La Barbuta, located in an isolated area next to Ciampino airport. Reportedly local authorities plan to use the camp exclusively to house Roma families currently living in different camps in Rome. Consultations with the Roma residents were reportedly inadequate and no alternative options to relocation to La Barbuta camp were ever discussed. Furthermore, La Barbuta camp was built in 2011 using special powers granted under the so-called ―Nomad Emergency‖, which was ruled unlawful by the Council of State in November 2011.
