From: "sevenstarzz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Peoples War] IRSP: SMASH RACISM FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Irish Republican Socialist Party 26 January 2002 SMASH RACISM The Irish Republican Socialist Party held an anti-racism protest in central Dublin today at the growing number of racist attacks and the racist murder of a young Chinese student. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Dublin IRSP said: "The Costello/Gallagher Cumann Dublin in conjunction with other anti- racists held a rally outside the GPO calling for an end to the growing number of racist attacks. Over 100 people attended the rally protesting against the murder of a young Chinese student in the early hours of Monday night when three Chinese students were brutally set upon by a gang of thugs as they were returning home from a party. "To the cries of hate filled, bigoted insults, they were viciously beaten with an iron bar. One of those who was badly beaten went into a coma and sadly died on Friday night. "In North Belfast, we have seen how the bigoted UDA have targeted homes, schoolteachers, school kids and postmen simply because of their religious background, which culminated in tens of thousands of people taking to the streets to show their disgust. "We now need the same spirit and determination to call an end to racism and to stand up for a multicultural Ireland and tell these racist thugs that all peoples, irrespective of race, colour or creed, are welcome on our streets. Sectarianism, just as with racism, must be smashed." ### Republican Socialist Press Office 4 Cavendish Row, Dublin 1, Ireland Tel/Fax No: 01 8735620 Republican Socialist Publicity Bureau 392 Falls Road, Belfast, BT48 6DH, Ireland Tel: 028 90 321024 Fax: 028 90 330786 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IRSM Website: http://www.irsm.org/irsm.html IRSM Statements: http://www.irsm.org/statements/ _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
