Statement on the Belfast Incident
The Sudanese Community in Oxford & Oxfordshire, together with Sudanese communities across the United Kingdom, has followed with deep concern and sadness reports relating to the serious assault incident that occurred in Belfast.
Media outlets and social media platforms have circulated information regarding the incident, including varying reports about the identity and nationality of the individual concerned. In this regard, we emphasise the importance of relying solely on information released by the relevant authorities and avoiding the spread of rumours or unverified claims while investigations and legal proceedings remain ongoing.
The Sudanese Community in Oxford & Oxfordshire unequivocally condemns this violent act. We extend our deepest sympathy and solidarity to the victim, their family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.
