Monday, June 12, 2000 MIGRANT RIOT
(BCTV) - A group of
Chinese migrants turned violent on Monday at a detention centre in
Maple Ridge. Forty-nine of them smashed windows, toilets and set a
small fire before extra guards were brought in to stop them. Later
in the afternoon, the migrants agreed to talk to Corrections
officials, but still want someone from outside the prison to hear
their grievances. The migrants have been in custody for nearly a
year having arrived on the B.C. coast aboard four separate
boats. |
