A dividing wall between Roma and non-Roma communities

Roma Gypsies in Sfântu Gheorghe, Romania. A wall divides two communities from each other. The non-Roma live in the blocks of apartments whilst on the other side of the wall live the Roma Gypsies, in little houses. The Municipality says the wall is there to protect property and cars from damage by Roma. The non-Roma are annoyed because they say they cannot sell their apartments for a good price, so they are forced to stay where they are. Sfantu Gheorghe Romania.
