Killing of doorman in Andalucían town triggered rampage in which houses were burned and looted
Racist grafitti in a house in Peal de Becerro, saying: ‘Gypsies out.’Spanish Gypsy groups are calling for urgent action and protection after dozens of people were forced to abandon their homes in a small Andalucían town when a killing triggered a wave of racist violence.
Although a peaceful demonstration calling for justice for Soto was held in the town the next day, it was followed by a racist rampage in which some residents targeted houses belonging to Gypsies, including relatives of the alleged killers. The properties were burned, looted and damaged; cars were tipped over. Some houses were also defaced with graffiti saying “killer Gypsies” and “death to Gypsies”.
Two of the four men arrested were subsequently released pending trial, while the other two remain in custody.
