The rector of the University of Edinburgh has told how she has suffered further racist abuse since becoming the first black woman to take up the position.
Debora Kayembe said “a lot of people” objected to her portrait being displayed in the Royal Society of Edinburgh when she was appointed to the role last year.
The 46-year-old, one of the world’s most highly regarded human rights lawyers, arrived in the UK from the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2005, but previously told how she was forced to flee her home in Bonnyrigg following a campaign of racially motivated attacks.
