📅 4 May 2016 📍 France

Police evicted refugees from the disused lycée Jean Jaurès in Paris at dawn. StreetPress reported that supporters were also detained and that students and residents described a forceful operation. Occupying a vacant school made the contradiction between unused buildings and people sleeping outside difficult to ignore. The episode connected shelter claims to the criminalization of those who helped migrants organize a place to stay.
