The silent protest of refugees and volunteers in Koksijde (photo)

Volunteers came to the gates of the Koksijde Refugee Reception Center.

At 18:00 a silent protest began against the blocking of refugees.

Yesterday and today, Belgian media report on the events in Koksijde, but at the moment the situation has not changed - the police still forbid refugees to leave the center. People still actually live in prison.

I think that officials are now trying to present the situation as if a solution has been found and everything is fine - in order to reduce the resonance.

Therefore, it is so important to show that nothing has ended and we are still at the same point as a week ago.
