Black Lives Matter mural in West Belfast paint bombed

The MP for West Belfast has hit out after a Black Lives Matter mural on the International Wall was paint bombed.

Paul Maskey tweeted an image of the damage with the words “Racism comes in many forms”.

He added: “To those that damaged this anti racism mural last night, you’re not welcome.

“This mural is a sign of solidarity to all those who have been impacted by racism throughout the world. West Belfast is a proud anti racist and anti fascist community.

"Those who carried out this attack on the mural last night need to wise up. They’re obviously filled with racism and fear of equality. Thankfully they’re in a minority.”
