Polish officials concerned by xenophobia in UK
Polish authorities are expressing concern over incidents of xenophobia directed at Poles and other foreigners in Britain following the British vote to leave the European Union.
The Polish ambassador in London, Witold Sobkow, said on Monday that his embassy is in contact with British police as they investigate the incidents.
In one reported case, offensive graffiti telling Poles to go home in vulgar terms was sprayed on the front of a Polish cultural center in London.
Sobkow said: "We are shocked and deeply concerned by the recent incidents of xenophobic abuse directed against the Polish community and other U.K. residents of migrant heritage."
