STORYLINE
The Czech Republic has failed to comply with a European court order to stop placing healthy Roma children in schools for the mentally disabled, Amnesty International said on Thursday.
The European Court of Human Rights ruled in 2007 that the Czech Republic must stop the practice.
In a report, the human rights group said it found that Roma people still make up almost 30 percent of the students in schools for those with mild mental disabilities, while the community makes up less than three percent of the country's population.
The Czech Education Ministry said it had been taking steps to solve the problem, and that the number of Roma children in those schools declined by 11 percent, or 440 pupils, last year.
Amnesty International also claimed that Roma pupils were separated from other students, even in many mainstream schools, in breach of the country's international obligations.
The European Commission opened an investigation last year into whether the Czech Republic was breaching EU anti-discrimination legislation.
