Sunday, September 26th 2004

The East & Bays Courier has taken up the case of Sara Maleki, who has endured years of vandalism, graffiti and verbal abuse.

"The Fire Service put the fire out and told me it seemed to be intentional, but it seems the police are unable to do much to stop things like this happening."
