Hate crimes spike in #France 🇫🇷 as tensions rise amidst #MiddleEast conflict & far-right resurgence. Data shows a 32% increase in 'racist nature' crimes from 2022 to 2023, with antisemitic acts quadrupling.

Very glad to see that #Austria published its 1st #Antiracism Strategy yesterday. It is an essential step taken towards the fight against racism at EU level. It was developed in a participatory process in close cooperation with civil society & academia. bmkoes.gv.at/Themen/Aktuell/…

🚨 An act of hate and intolerance: Three swastikas and the words “AfD” were found at the #Stendal #mosque. The #community is deeply affected, and the absence of solidarity post-crime is regrettable. Stand united against such acts of discrimination.

An der Moschee in Stendal sind drei Hakenkreuze und der Schriftzug "AfD" entdeckt worden. Die Gemeinde zeigt sich betroffen und bedauerte auch die bisher geringe Solidarität nach der Tat.

I have experienced a deliberate hate crime attack in Tallaght a few hours ago. I would like to express my gratitude to the kind Irish lady and two Irish gentlemen who assisted me when I collapsed and safely helped me into my car. I am currently receiving medical care at the hospital. Also, thank you my community members who have come immediately to my support.
