Cork: A student who came from India on a student visa was attacked this time. The Indian student was strangled and racially assaulted.
Last Saturday evening in the city of Cork, which is the coastal county of Ireland and the most populated county after Dublin, around 5:30 p.m. near Caroline's gift shop on Patrick Street, the assailant came behind the Indian
Suddenly a man threw a plastic rope around his neck and tried to strangle him. Somehow the student untied the rope and ran away. The choked student, however, immediately ran away from the assailant and took photos of the teenagers.
Not just Cork, but Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK have witnessed several such migrant attacks in recent months. The student arrived in Cork a few weeks ago for postgraduate studies. With this incident, he is afraid to go out and go to class. The name of the student who was assaulted has not been released. Other children say that the student, who used to work part-time to cover expenses, is afraid to go out and is trying to fix a new job.
Justice Minister Helen McEntee said in a statement that the perpetrators will be brought to justice. Laura Harmon, a Labor Party councilor and director of the Irish Council for International Students, said at a meeting of Cork City Council that they would call for more effective Garda surveillance and the creation of pop-up Garda stations.
Many people, including Prime Minister Simon Harris, have expressed concern about this and have called for a review of Narrat's policing practices. A similar pop-up station system has already been implemented in Dublin.
Dr Lekha Menon Margassery, president of the UCC Indian Alumni Community, has called for more policing in Cork city center amid what she believes are racially motivated incidents.
She said a second incident happened less than half an hour later at Adelaide Street and North Main Street and involved the same group of teenagers. “ In the second case , the students were also working in India, but the company gave them a leave and they are here to do their Masters. “They are husband and wife. The same person who attacked her earlier put a rope around her husband's neck. He immediately took it off.
"It's very scary because it can happen to anyone. I hear about three weeks or a month ago some walked across the students in Pole Street Shopping Center in Cork. They were just buying groceries. Four people surrounded them and beat them. They are told to return to their homeland. Currently, students are worried that new arrivals will decrease if there are no more security measures.
