Call for ban on racist websites

THE Government has been urged to outlaw racist websites.

Anti-racism advocates have also called on mobile phone companies to cut off pre-paid phones being used to threaten anti-racist campaigners and spread race hate material.

Philip Watt of the National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism (NCCRI) said the 1989 Incitement to Hatred Act needed to be changed to specifically outlaw inflammatory internet material.
