Court says baseball bat message not discrimination

The Supreme Court confirmed earlier court rulings that the public exhibition of a baseball bat with the message “for gypsies” in a restaurant does not constitute discrimination and did not affect human dignity. An earlier court decision said that although Roma might feel offended they had no right to damages or an apology. The court case dates back to 2001 when Roma activists and non-profit organizations launched a complaint against the restaurant in Pošumaví.
