Migrant uprising over
PRINCE GEORGE
(CKNW/AM980) -- The uprising by a group of Chinese
migrants at the Prince George Jail is over. Corrections
officials say the men have now dismantled a barricade
they had set up in their unit, after smashing some
windows. Corrections B.C. spokesperson Sheldon Green
says the migrants were upset over the removal of
electric kettles and rice cookers from their living
quarters last night. Green says only about a dozen of
the 40 migrants housed in the unit participated in the
vandalism, and damage is relatively minor. No decision
on disciplinary action has been
made.
