A Northern Ireland MLA has said he will not be "bullied" after reported "death threats" were made against him.
People Before Profit's Gerry Carroll said graffiti was put on a wall in Andersonstown which includes "a target symbol and the initials of a fringe fascist group".
The West Belfast MLA said: "These threats are a sign of desperation. The Far Right are utterly isolated in West Belfast and only dare emerge in the dead of night. Thousands of people have joined actions against racism in West Belfast in recent months, and we will do so again. I will not be deterred nor bullied by a pathetic minority who skulk around under cover of darkness."
Mr Carroll added: "I call on all progressive forces in this city to unite against racism and fascism. In particular, the Trade Union movement must urgently respond and mobilise its resources against the far-right threat.
"The far-right offer working class people nothing. Their racism has only divided communities and is no different than the sectarianism and discrimination that was meted out to working people here in the North."
