Frontex flight blockaded by activists in Belgium

About twenty activists are blocking the entrance to the closed detention centre of Steenokkerzeel 127 Bis, Brussels, this morning. By blocking the entrance they want to stop the deportation of migrants with a Frontex flight. Support them as much as you can, publish news!

Today 28th April a flight is organised to deport 60 people of Congolese origin, coming from different European countries. The 'securised' flight is leaving from Brussels; it was seven years ago that Belgium last chartered a flight to deport migrants to their country, and it is organised under the management of Frontex.
