Bristol campaign leads to arson
artdoc April=1992

A campaign of racist hate has been waged against two brothers,
who wish to remain unidentified, in order to prevent them
settling into a housing association home in St. Judes, Bristol.
First whilst they were preparing to move in, a swastika and NF
slogan were sprayed on an outside wall. Then, arsonists broke
into the home setting it alight - luckily the brothers were away
at the time. Days later the Self-Help Community Housing
Association, which managed the housing scheme, received a
threatening letter. The brothers have asked to be rehoused.
