Mass riots that began in France on June 27 have now spread to two other European countries, Switzerland and Belgium.
In Brussels, Belgium, the protests started on June 30 and remained relatively peaceful compared to the more violent scenes witnessed in France. However, authorities took precautionary measures by conducting checks and detaining individuals deemed suspicious.
The Belgian citizens took to the streets in response to social media calls urging them to "do as in France." According to media reports, the number of demonstrators arrested in Brussels has now reached 63.
Meanwhile, in Lausanne, Switzerland, the situation unfolded with less tranquility. Nightly riots erupted in the city, involving over 100 rioters who targeted shops and police officers.
Swiss police arrested seven individuals, six of whom were minors, during the clashes. The protesters resorted to throwing stones and at least one Molotov cocktail at law enforcement officers. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
According to a local newspaper, the six detainees, aged between 15 and 17, come from diverse nationalities, including Portuguese, Bosnian, Somalian, Georgian, and Serbian. Among those apprehended, the only adult is a 24-year-old Swiss citizen. (ILKHA)
