Bulldozers & cops outside migrant camp
No Borderer | 16.09.2009 22:27 | Migration | Repression
Getting news in that cops and bulldozers have surrounded the Pashtun (afghan) migrant camp in Calais, France, where children as young as 7 and 8 years old are living. It seems there finally gonna raze the place tonight, hours after the immigration minister announced it's be cleared before next week.
Cant even begin to express my anger....

The jungle of Calais was not surrounded by the police.
But on the other hand, the MEMBERS OF THE FRENCH RIOT POLICE entered a part of the jungle, their vehicles were outside the road.
They sorted out the Afghan by asking who had papers and who had no it.
In the question " you go to arrest all of us? ", the MEMBERS OF THE FRENCH RIOT POLICE answered " only 15 ".
They thus arrested15 persons.
The operation was finished in 23.50.
Maybe they proceed to mini raids.
At 6 pm, the same day, on a zone of passage, the MEMBERS OF THE FRENCH RIOT POLICE and the PAF clamped 25 Afghan which they took. Three of them were beated.
At 8 pm, then at 9 pm, it is three police vans and the van of collection that made return, visible in center.

We are receiving news that the CRS have been showing a heavy presence at the Pashtun ‘jungle’, arresting groups of migrants. Also bulldozers have appeared at this ‘jungle’. This seems so far to be an escalation of the initimidation rather than a wholesale clearance, but immigration minister Besson has claimed he wants rid of the ‘jungles’ by the end of next week. More on the ground presence required to keep track of what is going on, and frustrate these actions.
