Almost half of migrant students in Northern Ireland face racial abuse, says rights watchdog
ALMOST half of migrant students in Northern Ireland have suffered racist abuse and harassment, a European human rights watchdog said today.

“Over two-fifths of ethnic minority students in Northern Ireland have reportedly been the victims of racist bullying and harassment,” the ECRI said.
