Genk, De Lijn bus station

Afghan Sikh girl, who does well in school and speaks very good Dutch

The family has been refused refugee status in Belgium

Where/When will they find justice ?

Landen, IC Doubledecker to Luik/Liège
De Luik and Genk carriages come as one train to Landen and are there split. As these are not EMUs the operation involves two sets of carriages and two engines, which often results in delays.
