📍New Statement: Stop discrimination and #ethnicprofiling in Europe!
Following repeated evidence of racism in policing in some EU countries, the #EURightsAgency calls on EU Member States to step up their efforts and effectively fight #discrimination, #harassment, and violence… https://n.respublicae.eu/i/web/status/1676540575380537345 https://t.co/e3LDijEP20

The #EURightsAgency's Police stops report shows that the police stop minorities more often than others.
Men, young people & Muslims are stopped most often.
Trust in police among those who experienced #EthnicProfiling drops.

Oops, did I just register the domain racial-profiling.eu? I might have.

Maybe someone should create a web site where we list which EU countries carry out racial profiling and publish the experiences of people who have been racially profiled at EU borders. 🤔

Maybe we can use the fediverse to gather those experiences…

Here, I’ll start:

I was racially profiled by Belgian border police two weeks ago at Brussels Airport.

So Dutch border police have been told by the courts to stop ethnic profiling… Hey, I wonder, can we do Belgium next?

Whaddaya say, @EU_Commission, given you’re headquartered there and all? You down with the racial profiling being carried out at the borders?

Any thoughts, @FRA?

Any local politicians/MEPs want to take this on?

Dutch border force guilty of ethnic profiling at border checks, appeals court rules.

“Ethnic profiling can never be justified, their lawyer said in his plea [..]. ‘It is not about the intention, but about the impact.’”

@gwenvaneijk

A historic judgment! A Dutch court has just ruled on appeal that the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee can no longer use ethnicity for border controls. This ruling will contribute to stopping discriminatory controls by the KMar.
