Racist Attack In Ballybeen Condemned
East Belfast DUP MLAs Peter Robinson, Robin Newton and Sammy Douglas have condemned the racist attack on a family in Ballybeen this morning.
Speaking today they said,
"This was a disgraceful attack on a family who are part of the community within Ballybeen and having spoken to local residents in the area today they want to make clear their hope that this family will not be forced from the area because of a few racist thugs.
The Awoyelu family have received assistance from the community and in particular from their church and these actions are the true face of people in Ballybeen. We have also been in contact with the emergency services to discuss the situation as well as community leaders in the area who are sickened by this second attack on a highly respected family."
