Mass arrests during pro-migrant demonstration in Brussels

Several hundred people demonstrated outside the Palace of Justice in Brussels, demanding that currently detained undocumented migrants be released. Police used force to break up the unlicensed protest, and arrested 130 in the event, many of them migrants themselves. Those who are undocumented face penalties for taking part in the demonstration, and may also face deportation, according to a spokesperson for a Belgian migrant organization.
