In light of the increased number of racist attacks directed at ethnic minorities living in Northern Ireland, the Polish Association and Forum Polonia in the Republicurgently calls on the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister for undertaking appropriate measures to prevent the attacks from happening and to rebuilt the atmosphere of safety among the threatened people. Poles, Lithuanians, Roma people, Indians and others have recently been feeling insecure and under threat – their premises are being attacked, threatening letters are being sent to them. As members of the community they have full rights to live a normal life without fear and to pursue their ambitions. This is becoming more and more difficult.
Thus the Polish Association and Forum Polonia in the Republic of Ireland urges the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to investigate the attacks and to implement procedures that will enable members of threatened communities to feel safe.
