Antrim Nazi symbols outside ability cafe ‘shocking’ for staff

Patrick Corrigan, Northern Ireland’s Director of Amnesty said that the graffiti was part of a “sustained campaign of sectarian and racist intimidation across Antrim going back to May”.

The graffiti followed several reports of racist and sectarian attacks in Antrim over recent weeks.

“This isn’t just a bit of graffiti, this is forced displacement of people from their homes by an organised violent campaign of intimidation”, he told the Nolan Show.

The Amnesty Director called on the police and lawful authorities to “bring those responsible to account” and “send a clear signal that this is not acceptable in Northern Ireland in 2024”.

He said that those responsible are “organised”, “armed probably” and “certainly dangerous paramilitary gangs”.

“The sad fact is through campaign of intimidation the racists are winning because people have been forced out of the community”.
