A respected academic who has been the target of sustained and hate-filled online racist attacks and death threats, says he fears again for his physical safety after receiving a letter which urged him to “fuck off back to where you belong”.
Amanullah De Sondy, the head of religions and a senior lecturer in contemporary Islam at UCC, said the letter was the latest example of a hidden epidemic of racism in Ireland.
