Move comes after racist and sectarian graffiti removed from new housing development in Derry
Police have removed an anti-immigration sign that was erected at the roadside in a Co Tyrone village.
The incident happened during a time of increased concern over racist attacks and race-related incidents in Northern Ireland. Recent figures showed that the region reported the highest number of race-related incidents on record last year. Unrest in Belfast and attacks on some businesses owned by people from minority ethnic backgrounds came at a time of tension across the UK following misinformation on social media after the murder of three young children in Southport.
Sinn Fein councillor Christopher Jackson said: “This is the latest vile and hate-driven attempt to intimidate people and families from living in brand new homes. There is an onus on all political and community leaders to stand united in calling out racist and sectarian intimidation.”
