URGENT CALL OUT for activists, legal observers, journalists and video activists to support migrants in Calais against imminent police attack and deportation!

Confirmed sources have advised humanitarian organisations that plans for the destruction of the refugee camps in Calais and the subsequent deportation of refugees will take place this week between the 20th and 25th of July. The French immigration minister, Mr.Besson , following pressure from organisations and the media has denied that any such plans exist.
There is an urgent need for people to go to Calais to protest against the potential clearances as well as to act as legal & human rights observers as police begin operations to destroy the camps and attempt to remove people.

Please act now in any of the following ways:
