Every child deserves justice!

The video depicts a case of inhumane treatment of a child from the Roma ethnic community by medical staff in a public healthcare institution.

Due to a broken arm, the minor child, together with their mother, sought medical assistance, but instead of receiving help from the medical staff, the child was “slapped”! Reportedly, the child was not listening to the medical staff while they were trying to set the broken arm without anesthesia.

*The video was produced by the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights with the support of an institutional grant under the Civica Mobilitas program.
