Worldwide media attention has been focused on a little girl called Maria for a couple of weeks now. The blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl was found living in a Roma camp in Greece. The couple she was living with say she was adopted, but they've now been imprisoned. Her mother says she wants her back, but she is headed for foster care for the time-being. The case has highlighted the problems with the social infrastructure in Greece, and the plight of Roma in Europe. And in Ireland, it led to two Roma children being taken from their parents
Radio New Zealand's Kathryn Ryan spoke to Nils Muiznieks, the Council for Europe's Commissioner of Human Rights, who says he has been appalled by the coverage of the story.
