Migrants in Belfast are in shock over racist attacks on foreign-owned shops and businesses on August 3, with several shops torched and windows smashed. Local people have rallied in support with thousands taking part in an anti-racism march and demonstration in Belfast city centre. "Belfast is a welcoming city," says Fiona Doran, Head of United Against Racism. "It's a city that says no to racism."
