Belfast urged to back anti-racism rally

The organisers of an anti-racism rally in Belfast today were hoping that thousands of workers would take to the streets to demonstrate their abhorrence of recent attacks on racial minorities in the City.

Belfast Lord Mayor Martin Morgan of the SDLP, Irish Congress of Trade Unions officials and Anna Lo of the Chinese Welfare Association were among those due to address a rally outside Belfast’s City Hall which will coincide with the UK’s Holocaust Memorial Day.
