Police were injured, houses burned in the second night of riots in Northern Ireland | Racism

The riots said to go to “foreigners” in the city of Northern Ireland after suspected sexual assault on the local teenager.

Hundreds of masked riots attacked police and set fire to homes and cars in Balimen of Northern Ireland in the second night of a disorder described as “racially motivated” by police after protesting for suspected sexual assault in the city.

Police said they were dealing with a “serious disorder” on Tuesday night in the city, located about 45 km (30 miles) from the capital Belfast and called on people to avoid the area.

Riot Gear employees and driving of armored vehicles reacted with a water cannon and fired with plastic circles on a stick after being attacked with Molotov cocktails, steel skeletons and rocks that the riots gathered by demolishing the walls nearby, according to the Reuters news agency.

A house was burned and the riots tried to light a second home, according to the reports, while several cars were set on fire.

The Belfast Telegraph newspaper said some residents in Balimen have begun to mark their front doors to indicate their nationality to avoid an attack while the Irian media reported that a call has been published in other cities in Northern Ireland, currently part of the United Kingdom.

During the earlier violence on Monday, four houses were damaged by fire, and windows and doors were broken into other homes and businesses, in what police said it was investigating as racially motivated hate attacks.

“The terrible scenes of a civil disorder that we have witnessed in Balimen tonight have no place in Northern Ireland,” a United Kingdom publication said in a publication on social media.

“There is absolutely no excuse for attacks on PSNI (Northern Ireland Police Service) officers or vandalism aimed at homes or property of people,” he said.

For the first time, the unrest erupted on Monday night after a vigil in a Balimen neighborhood, where a presumed sexual assault took place on Saturday. The problems began when people in the masks “broke away from vigil and began to build barricades, stockpile missiles and attacking properties,” police said.

Two boys from teenagers accused by police of raping a teenager had appeared in court earlier during the day they had requested a Romanian translator, local media reports said.

Tensions in the city, which has a large population of migrants, remained high all over Tuesday, with residents describing the scenes as “horrific” and telling reporters that the participants were aimed at “foreigners”.

“This violence was obviously racially motivated and aimed at the ethnic community and the police of our minority,” said the helper of the northern Ireland, Ryan Henderson.

The Northern Ireland Police Service said it was investigating “hate attacks” by homes and businesses and that 15 employees were injured in riots on Monday, including some in need of hospital treatment.

Cornelia Albu, a 52-year-old, Romanian migrant and a mother of two who lives against a house aimed at attack, said her family was “very scared”.

“It was crazy last night because too many people came here and tried to set fire to the house,” said Albu, who works in a factory, in front of the AFP News Agency.

She said she would have to move now, but she was worried that she would not find another place to live because she was Romanian.
