11 Migrants Burnt in Dutch Fire

category international | racism & migration related issues | other press author Thursday October 27, 2005 15:16author by got to be careful

Dutch authorities have confirmed that 11 migrants have died in a fire at a migrant detention / internment camp at Shiphol airport.

The news is reported at the same time that over 600 migrants arrived by boat to Sicily last night.

Now before we are sued for getting it wrong, the detention centre is used for holding both illegal migrants (WHO ARE NOT CRIMINALS as they are not thereafter convicted of a crime) and drug smugglers who are criminals.

If the 11 dead people were not migrants, and were instead criminals I apologise.
