Funeral Turns Into Anti-Skinhead Rally
- Share via
Thousands attended the funeral of a 13-year-old Roma boy allegedly killed by skinheads. The mourners then marched through downtown in the capital, Belgrade, to protest right-wing violence. “Knowing what skinheads do in other countries, we are terrified,” said Dragoljub Ackovic, an activist representing the estimated 80,000 Gypsies--or Roma, as they prefer to be called--in the republic of Serbia. Seventh-grader Dusko Jovanovic was on an errand Friday when a group of skinheads reportedly kicked and beat him to death. Police have arrested several suspects.
