They have organised many demonstrations outside ministerial offices and other state targets.

The intensity and visibility of resistance from those who are normally expected to remain in the shadows was causing too much of an embarrassment to the authorities. So when the Afghans descended on the Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo's office on 25th September, they were met with tear gas, water cannons, and mass arrest: 47- 70 (reports vary) were taken to the detention centre. Kids were tear gassed too.

Here's one report from Wahid, an arrestee:

"After the police have us arrested in Rue de la Loi Brussels, they have beaten me a lot in the bus: they have touched my genitals, they have beaten with helmet to my head and also kicked to my mouth. When we arrived
in Merksplas, the police put me in a separate room in the basement where they have beaten me one by one, took off my clothes and asked me to say sorry and beat me. they executed [sic] me long time,... they have everyone brought in different locations: in Liege, Merksplas, Zaventem, ... "

The next day, a reprisal was delivered as 400 Afghans were illegally evicted from another occupied building on the Rue du Trône.
