Norway: Rejected refugees riot to protest living conditions
7 July 2010
Police have arrested 23 people on suspicion of arson after last night’s fire that destroyed Lier asylum centre in Buskerud. The fire started in three separate buildings that were far apart almost simultaneously, and preliminary investigations show traces of inflammable liquids.
Inmates already knew what was going to happen, as several refugees had packed their belongings, according to VG.
Jan Erik Skretteberg, regional director of SOS Rasisme, says he can understand why the fire was started, claiming there are many frustrated people who don’t get enough food or vitamins. There isn’t enough hot water in the showers, and a complete lack of mental health services.
