(Belga) Six people were injured in clashes between people of Kurdish and Turkish origin in Limburg on Sunday. Police will increase surveillance at the site of the riots and at nearby schools and mosques in the coming weeks.
Five people were lightly injured and a sixth person suffered serious injuries. One person was arrested and a crisis meeting was held on Monday in the municipality of Houthalen.
“This confrontation was triggered by a convoy of Kurds from Leuven heading towards Houthalen and Heusden, displaying symbols that provoked discussions with people of Turkish origin,” said Alain Yzermans, mayor of Houthalen-Helchteren.
