With the burning and clearing of the main migrant camp in Patras, Greece, it seems there is a Europe-Wide attack on those without the luck to have a EU-Passport. On Tuseday next week the make-shifts camp whoch the migrants have built in calais are to be destroyed.
There are plans for mass-deportation flights to follow. Activists are travelling to Calais to witness, and to try to intervene in Calais as we speak. However, the situation is desperate and we call on all those who can't make it to call the numbers below. Green MEP's statement condemming the actions of the authorities.
The French immigration minister, Mr.Besson has officially announced 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.
There is an urgent need for people to go to Calais to protest against the clearances as well as to act as legal & human rights observers as police begin destroying the camps and attempting to remove people.
