Police Use Water Cannon, Tear Gas Against Anti-Migration Protesters Outside EU Commission HQ

Police deployed tear gas and water cannon against protesters demonstrating outside the headquarters of the European Commission, in Brussels, Belgium, against a proposed migration pact.

More than 5,000 demonstrators, who had been organized by right-wing political groups, took part in the protests, local media reported.

The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration was intended to be formally endorsed by the United Nations the following week, despite opposition from anti-migration groups. Credit: @pierrebxl via Storyful
