Boys due in court over race attacks (Evening Times)
Two teenagers are due in court today charged in connection with the racist attacks on Romanian families in Belfast. A 15-year-old and 16-year-old are each charged with provocative conduct, and the 15-year-old also with intimidation of the Romanian families. The pair are due to appear before Belfast Magistrates’ Court, said a police spokesman. They were arrested on Friday during police operations in the south of the city in the wake of vandalism and attacks on the homes of Romanian migrants which forced 22 terrified families – 115 people including 49 children – to seek refuge in a church hall on Wednesday night. The Romanians were later given temporary accommodation in student flats. On Saturday hundreds of people attended an anti-racism rally in the city.
