Sinn Féin MLA Deirdre Hargey has slammed those behind an arson attack in south Belfast on Monday night which police are treating as a racially-motivated hate crime.
The South Belfast MLA said:
“Last night’s racist arson attack was absolutely appalling and disgusting.
“Thankfully no one was injured, although we could have been talking about a much more serious incident with the potential loss of life.
“This attack was unprovoked, it was reprehensible and it is not reflective of the majority of our community who embrace and welcome the huge positives of diversity in our society.
“Racism and hate is wrong in all of its forms and it must be rejected and stopped now.”
