Sinn Féin MLA Deirdre Hargey has said those behind last night’s racist arson attack on a church premises in east Belfast must face the full force of the law.
The South Belfast MLA said:
“It is absolutely sickening that yet another racist attack has occurred in our city.
“This attack on a church premises is the latest in a series of disgusting, violent racist acts which are not reflective of the majority in our society who embrace the huge positives of diversity.
“Those who have arrived to make our city home are welcome here. They are an integral part of our community, and are very much appreciated.
“There is no room for racism in our society, and those intent on causing havoc and division must be dealt with by the full force of the law.”
