The Romani people in Belarus[a] are Belarusian citizens of Romani descent. The Roma of Belarus, though relatively small compared to other Eastern European countries, have a history dating back over 500 years. Throughout Belarusian history, the Roma have often faced discrimination for various reasons, particularly under Nazi occupation, the Soviet Union, and the administration of Alexander Lukashenko.[1]
