William Frederick Frazer (8 July 1960 – 28 June 2019)[1] was a Northern Irish Ulster loyalist activist and advocate for those affected by Irish republican violence in Northern Ireland.[2] He was the founder and leader of the pressure group Families Acting for Innocent Relatives (FAIR). He was also a leader of the Love Ulster campaign[3] and then, the Belfast City Hall flag protests. In 2019, from evidence gained in a police report, journalist Mandy McAuley asserted that the Ulster Defence Association had been supplied weapons, in the late 1980s, by the Ulster Resistance and that Frazer was the point of contact for those supplies. She asserted that multiple sources also confirmed this to be true.[4] Those weapons were linked to at least 70 paramilitary murders.[2]
