Authorities begin dismantling the southern Calais camp

← Back to Dashboard
📅 29 February 2016 📍 France

The state began demolishing part of the southern section of the Calais camp, displacing residents and destroying shelters. Paris-Luttes.info’s movement account described bulldozers and police accompanying the operation. The issue was not only where people would be transferred: residents had built homes, shops and shared spaces, and the dismantling narrowed their control over where to live and whether to continue toward the UK.
