Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A Czech court has convicted four right-wing extremists of an arson attack on a Roma family, that badly injured a two-year-old girl, and sentenced them to long prison terms.
The four were charged with racially motivated attempted murder for an attack in April last year on a Roma family's house in the north-east town of Vitkov.
The girl, Natalka, suffered severe burns to 80 per cent of her body and was in a serious condition for months.
Judge Miloslav Studnicka said the trial proved that their intention was to kill the Roma family who lived in the house "because of their race".
