Nicolae Gheorghe, Roma activist with a long trajectory and international reputation in fighting for Roma rights, passed away on 8 August.
Nicolae Gheorghe (Romania, 1946), was the founder of the Romanian NGO Romani Criss, an organization with which the FSG has been working for a long time, and one of the initiators of the European Roma and Travellers Forum of the Council of Europe and the OSCE Contact Point.
We at the FSG are saddened by the news and would like to express our most sincere condolences to Nicolae Gheorghe’s family, friends and community.
