By BBC   Fri, Oct 23, 2009

A Zimbabwean man who has lived in Belfast for 15 years has moved out of his home in the east of city after racist graffiti was daubed on the property.

Tas Aritura, who is originally from Zimbabwe, said Nazi symbols were painted on the door and wall of the house he rents in Channing Street.

Police have received a report of the incident which was discovered after 1730 BST on Monday.

Mr Aritura, who moved into the house in August, is now staying with a friend.

He said he had never been the victim of a racist attack like this before and now felt differently about living in Northern Ireland.
