Belgian student protests against education costs echo France

Hundreds of students, inspired in part by student unrest in neighbouring France, have taken to ​the streets of the eastern Belgian city of Liège, with local media reporting ‌107 arrests in recent days.

Liège's main train station was also ​closed but later reopened, local media reported, and police urged people to avoid ​the city centre.

Videos circulating on social media in recent days showed shattered glass, fires and hundreds of mostly young protesters in Liège, while other footage showed police blocking roads.
