Race Hate Graffiti

Monday 10 March 08

Police are investigating the daubing of Nazi symbols and racist graffiti in the Village area of south Belfast.

Swastikas and racist slogans were daubed on a bridge along the Donegall Road.

South Belfast Alliance MLA Anna Lo said Village residents were disgusted at the racist graffiti which "has no place in our society".

"This type of behaviour must be stamped out. The Village area is moving forward positively," she said.

"We want to show the world that this place is welcoming to everyone - we want to show the world that Northern Ireland is open for business."
