There were disturbances in the Marolles area of south-central Brussels by protesters on 25 and 26 September 2006, following the death of a young man of North African origin in police custody. While the situation is now calm, travelers should be careful if visiting the area particularly after dark.
There have been two reported incidences of rabies in Belgium in 2007. The authorities have indicated that there is no cause for alarm but travelers should seek medical advice before traveling and ensure that all appropriate vaccinations are up-to-date.
