Faced with
deportation, Chinese migrants riot
Wednesday, July 5, 2000
Victoria -- Chinese migrants rioted
yesterday as Canada Immigration prepared to deport 120 of the nearly 600
migrants found crammed aboard four rusty boats last summer.
The riots began Monday night at about 10 p.m., lasting for one hour,
and continued again yesterday at 8 a.m., said Sheldon Green, a spokesman
for B.C. Corrections. He said a group of about 12 ringleaders smashed
windows yesterday morning and broke beds, brandishing bed parts as
weapons, and using beds to blockade the entrance to their dormitory.
