#RefugeesWelcome March in Brussels; Anti-Refugee Violence in Finland

HeadlineSep 28, 2015

In response to the influx of refugees, thousands marched in Brussels Sunday in a “Refugees Welcome” solidarity march. This comes after, in Finland, dozens of nationalists, including one man dressed like a member of the Ku Klux Klan, threw fireworks and rocks at a bus filled with Iraqi refugees and Finnish Red Cross volunteers on Thursday. Nationalists also scrawled the words “Go Home” on the pavement outside the refugee reception in Lahti. Meanwhile, a Finnish man has been arrested for throwing a Molotov cocktail at an emergency refugee shelter in another part of Finland.
