Alliance Condemn Firebomb Attack
Alliance East Belfast representatives Naomi Long MP and Chris Lyttle MLA have condemned the firebomb attack on the Alliance East Belfast office. Most of the damage caused was superficial, including smashed windows and fire damage.
Naomi Long MP said: "This is yet another attack on democracy. If there are still people out there who think that violence and intimidation will prevent Alliance from working on behalf of the public in East Belfast, they are absolutely and totally wrong.
"My colleagues and I will not be bullied or intimidated. We will not be deflected by men of violence from carrying on the work of peacebuilding, and no-one should be under any illusion otherwise."
Chris Lyttle MLA said: "Elected representatives should not be prevented from working on behalf of their constituents. My colleagues and I work from this office to deliver constituency services for people from right across East Belfast. There can be no justification for attacking our office or bringing violence onto our streets."
