11.000 betogers in België tegen huidige immigratiebeleid
VegAna 28 Feb 2006 19:53 GMT (translated by VegAna)Op 25 februari 2006 eisten 11.000 betogers in Brussel de legalisering van de 150.000 illegale migranten in België, en een einde aan massa-arrestaties, opsluitingen en deportaties.
De betoging vormde het hoogtepunt van jarenlange strijd (sinds 1970) en van de zelforganisatie van migranten om hun rechten op te eisen: begin 2005 bezetten ze de Miniemenkerk, en in oktober 2005 begon de bezetting van de Sint-Bonifatiuskerk in Brussel, die nog steeds aan de gang is.
Na maanden van mislukte onderhandelingen met de Belgische overheid, en bedreigd met deportatie, startten sommige bezetters een hongerstaking om hun eisen kracht bij te zetten. Begin februari betoogden 3000 mensen in Antwerpen voor legalisering en in januari betoogden 2500 mensen bij het gesloten centrum van Vottem tegen de opsluiting van kinderen. In september 2005 kwamen zo'n 2500 mensen samen om de dood van Semira Adamu te gedenken, die gedood werd door politie tijdens haar deportatie.

yes it's a stupid situation, now we have 5 or 6 (or i don't know) belgian indymedia's.... all because the belgian communists bought themselves into the original indymedia (the .be one that is) and wanted to use it as a propaganda thing. sad realy, cause i thought it worked well in the beginning; most articles appeared in dutch and french, there were some national topics, some local, some international... but ow its all a bit of a mess. some local imc's work pretty good, some are a bit "coloured" (although not in the same way the .be is, not in dictator style), others seem to be a bit out of date sometimes (but hey, beter than nothing no?)
for me its ok, i know how to find my way in this belgian imc maze, but i can immagine that someone who doesnt, someone who just recently got interested in all this stuff...
ok, i know i should have gotten involved in some belgian imc group, but i was so dissapointed by the idea of "every province it's own imc" that i just couldn't be motivated. IMO the best thing right now would be that the direct links to the local imc were removed from the other imc sites and replaced by a link to a belgian-imc-link page (or whatever such a thing is called) sort of a hub thing.
and the link to the .be site just removed, not to be replaced by anything.
