Roma activist Horakova wins civil damages against a Prague club for discrimination, a rare ruling in the Czech Republic. The case highlights entrenched anti Roma bias and evolving laws as reform pressure grows from Prague toward EU norms. Gypsy advocate Ondrej Gina notes slow progress and persistent countryside prejudice, while Roma media presence and NGO efforts rise to push equality.

AIDS drug price cuts proposed by five firms for Africa
Five pharmaceutical companies including Boehringer Ingelheim Bristol-Myers Squibb Merck Glaxo Wellcome and Hoffmann La Roche offered to negotiate steep reductions in AIDS drug prices for Africa and other poor regions. They aim for cuts of about 80 percent or more below U.S. prices amid pressure from the UN and WHO to increase access. Glaxo Wellcome indicated Combivir could fall from about 16 to 2 per course in poor countries.
