#Belgium #Antwerp #Hijack

In Belgium, three armed men hijacked a helicopter and flew it over two prisons. The Belga news agency reports that the flight took off from Antwerp on Friday.
Once in the air, the men threatened the 36-year-old pilot with a gun and forced her to head for Brussels. The pilot had to fly over two adjacent prisons in the Belgian capital. According to the broadcaster VRT,
the police suspect an attempted escape, but because of its size, the helicopter could not land in the courtyard of the detention center fly from Brussels. They have been on the run since then. There are no inmates missing from the prisons.

@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK @BrightonSurvivorsNET “In the light of a highly disturbing increase of #transphobia locally & nationally…” IF everything anybody says or does is #transphobia, of course you can say it is rising. Any reputable statistics?
@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK “…so the date @Womans_Place_UK event feels like a concerted effort to make #trans ppl, & particularly #transwomen, feel #intimidated and #invalidated” Is it the position of SN that the sensitivities of #transwomen mean that #democracy should be suspended any time they say so?
