Racists in Belfast have threatened the life of the North's only elected representative from a minority community.

Racists in Belfast have threatened the life of the North's only elected representative from a minority community.

Alliance Party MLA Anna Lo, who is originally from Hong Kong, told the Assembly yesterday that the police had warned her of a threat to attack her home.

She also said she had received hate mail after speaking out against the attacks that forced 20 Romanian families to flee their homes in south Belfast earlier this month.

Ms Lo says she will not be deterred by the threats and will continue to speak out against hatred and in support of migrant communities.
