AdvertisementCrowds gathered in London and Belfast last night as vigils were held to remember the 39 Chinese migrants who lost their lives in a shipping container bound for the UK. Police have since moved 11 of the 39 bodies to a local hospital, as investigations continue into how they arrived into the Purfleet port. This is while Rebecca Ng, from the Chinese Welfare Association, said the community in Belfast had been shocked by the incident in Essex. In London anti-racism campaigners lined the streets of Westminster with various signs and banners which welcomes migrants and refugees. The signs also had lines on them which read 'blame austerity not migrants' and many had lined candles across walls.
