Asylum seekers staged a dramatic protest in Brussels on Sunday, setting fire to a detention centre and threatening to hang themselves, Belgian media reported.
A number of demonstrators scaled the roof and attempted to escape over barricades at a secure facility at Steenokkerzeel, near the main Brussels airport, Belga news agency said.
Others threatened to hang themselves with bedding from their cell windows, with fire officers required to intervene when a blaze was started.
