Ash Wednesday Links - Part 1

From The Brussels Times, 12 migrants from Eritrea are found in a refrigerated truck in Ternat, Belgium.  (If you read Flemish, read the story in De Standaard and Het Nieuwsblad.)













From The Moscow Times, Belarus detains a Jehovah's Witness near the Russian border on a request from Russia.  (What is this "freedom of religion" you speak of?)







From Independent Balkan News Agency, a second day of unrest on Greek Aegean islands.








From SwissInfo, police in the Swiss canton of Bern uncover a large people smuggling operation.  (Did I recently again point out how migrants are being smuggled?  As long as this sort of thing continues, I shall continue to point it out.)
