A year after an Austrian police raid at the Peršman House on the Austrian Koroška region, where an anti-fascist student gathering took place, Slovenian activists Rudi Vouk and Bernard Sadovnik expressed satisfaction with some measures taken by Austria's interior ministry. However, they emphasized that no disciplinary or legal actions have yet been taken against those involved in the raid. The raid occurred at a site where 11 members of two Slovenian families were killed by Nazis at the end of World War II. The Austrian interior ministry's commission concluded last autumn that the raid was largely unlawful and disproportionate, though not targeted at the Slovenian community or the Peršman memorial center. Recommendations for police units now require them to consult organizers before taking action at memorials and to act empathetically. Despite these steps, neither political nor legal consequences have emerged from the controversial police operation.
