The government�s plans to fingerprint Gypsies living in camps in Italy, including children, drew criticism from a Catholic human rights group in Rome that warned that it would set a dangerous precedent. �We are very worried about discrimination according to race or religion,� said Marco Impagliazzo, president of the group, the Community of Sant�Egidio. As part of a broader crackdown on crime, the Italian government has pledged to take a census of all Roma and Sinti people, as they prefer to be known, who are living in about 700 camps.
