Chinese migrants cause more trouble in Prince George jail
WebPosted Tue Jul 4 18:33:31 2000

PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. - Chinese migrants in Prince George B.C. smashed windows and blockaded the entrance to their dormitory overnight.

The migrants were among almost 600 Chinese migrants who arrived aboard four decrepit cargo ships off the B.C. coast last summer.

Many have made refugee claims, and most have been rejected. Those involved in the blockade are scheduled to be deported.

The trouble began Monday night, and involved about 40 migrants being held in a dormitory at a provincial jail.

B.C. corrections officials say all is now calm at the jail.
