Brussels - Manifestation against closed centres and prisons

BRUSSELS – More than 150 people went into a wild demonstration in the South-Area of Brussels, in Anderlecht and Molenbeek. An appeal was launched to demonstrate against the construction of a new detention centre for immigrants in Steenokkerzeel, against the deportation machine and against all prisons. The manifestation, also recalling the recent events in the prisons and the riots in Anderlecht, could count on a lot of sympathy of bystanders. Several cars of companies participating in the building and maintenance of prisons and closed centres were spraypainted. The manifestation was disbanded before the cops who were preparing to close in the demonstration could intervene.
