On 3 August 2004, police and gendarmes forcibly evicted and relocated approximately 140 Roma to a hazardous area near a wastewater treatment facility. The Roma lacked alternative housing and continued to reside in that area.

In 2005 the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) fined the mayor’s office in Miercurea Ciuc, approximately $1,560 (4,000 lei) for the eviction.
