CALAIS CALL OUT

In Calais (France: pronounced Callous), an early morning raid on Tuesday (6th) of the ‘Iranian Jungle’ signalled the end of a relatively quiet couple of weeks in terms of police repression of sans papiers. The CRS took all the tents (the migrants’ only shelter), personal possessions including passports, and arrested seven people.

Having been implored to resist their racist urges in respect of last week’s Eid celebrations, it seems the cops may now be back into their usual raid-arrest-harrass routine.

Calais Migrant Solidarity have issued a call-out for activists to come spend some time in Calais asap due to low numbers. See http://calaismigrantsolidarity.wordpress.com and SchNEWS 780.
