Zeebrugge

The tragic deaths of 39 would-be illegal migrants from China in a refrigerator lorry trailer highlight the deadly side-effects of Britain’s lax border controls — and the criminal people-smugglers who take advantage of them. 

Police in the Belgian village of Zeebrugge have called for local residents to calm after members of the community threatened to take the law into their own hands over a series of robberies committed by delinquent illegal migrants.
