Anti-immigration protests took place in Northern Ireland, a territory part of the United Kingdom, on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 9 and 10, after the stabbing attack by a Sudanese man in Belfast. The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the homes of three Romanian families were vandalized during the protests.
The protests first erupted after a 30-year-old man of Sudanese origin, Hadi Alodid, was charged with attempted murder. The victim, Stephen Ogilvie, suffered serious injuries to his eye, neck, and back, and lost sight in one eye. The incident was filmed, and the footage spread rapidly on social media, according to NPR.
