BBC News NI: “Irish Lives Matter!” Being Treated as Hate Crime

Sharing is Caring!

via BBC:

Anti-immigration signage erected in west Belfast is being treated as a hate incident, police have said.

A sign, which appeared in the Tildarg Avenue area, said that the community “will no longer accept the re-housing of illegal immigrants”.

The poster also used an offensive term while referring to “other communities”.

Graffiti reading “Irish lives matter” was also daubed on the wall of the Kennedy Centre on the Falls Road overnight.

People Before Profit’s Gerry Carroll said there was “no place in our society for this kind of racist poison”.

“We are under no illusions that ‘Irish Lives Matter’ is a racist slogan which is directly counterpoised to movements against the oppression faced by black people and other ethnic minorities,” he said.
