Women's Coalition member forced out after loyalist threat
Women's Coalition member Pearl Sagar had to move home after she
was threatened by loyalists in East Belfast.
Along with her
husband (a former British soldier who served in the Six Counties)
they moved after earlier threats escalated into acts of sectarian
intimidation. Sagar's 18 year old daughter, Naomi has also had to
stay away from East Belfast after loyalists found out her fiance
was a Catholic. The Women's Coalition was founded two years ago
and polled around 7,000 votes in the North.
``The decision to move came because of intimidation'', said Sagar,
``it all got a bit much at the end, and I feel rather sad that it
all happened''.
