ALMOST half of migrant students in Northern Ireland have suffered racist abuse and harassment, a European human rights watchdog said today.
The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) said it was “deeply concerned” about a “significant recent increase” in racist attacks in the Six Counties.
“Over two-fifths of ethnic minority students in Northern Ireland have reportedly been the victims of racist bullying and harassment,” the ECRI said.
