Amnesty International criticises Czechia over treatment of minorities and weapons exports

In its annual report assessing the state of human rights in 155 countries around the world, Amnesty International has criticised Czechia for the segregation of Roma children in schools, discrimination against Ukrainians, and the export of weapons to Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The report said that over the last year, Ukrainian refugees had been the target of hate speech and discrimination in Czechia, and the de facto segregation of Roma children in the education system had persisted. The organisation also criticises Czechia for having an outdated law on access to abortions and for not making any progress in furthering the rights of sexual minorities.
