Pan over people at vigil, voice of man (not seen on screen) speaking through megaphone UPSOUND (English) "Had to escape to get a safe haven. It would not start with the question about your legality. No human being is illegal."2. Tilt up to sign reading (English) : "Migrants and refugees welcome here" (PARTIALLY COVERS UPCOMING SOUNDBITE)3. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Bradley, vigil attendee protesting for migrants and refugee rights:  "This is horrendous, but it is kind of not surprising. Because I think that this whole process with migrants and refugees, in relation to coming into Europe, is being repeated as a tragedy almost every day. I mean, thousands of people have now drowned in the Mediterranean (Sea). And I think that the kind of 'Fortress Europe,' and a hostile environment that exists politically for migrants and refugees, leads to tragedies like this. It leads people in the arms of the traffickers, that's the only way they can move."4. Close of "Refugees Welcome" signs (PARTIALLY COVERS PREVIOUS SOUNDBITE)5. SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) Julie Sherry, vigil attendee protesting for migrants and refugee rights:  "People that are in quite desperate situations are clearly being forced into incredibly dangerous situations which are leading to the horrors that we saw in the last few days. So partly we are holding the vigil tonight to, you know, highlight that, to I suppose stand in solidarity with those affected."6. Close of candles (PARTIALLY COVERS PREVIOUS SOUNDBITE)7.
