No Border Camp at the UK Border extention beyond the channel
Indymedia UK - 25 Jun 2009
A farcical curtain of steel has descended on Calais, and the massive campaign of demonisation of the camp by the local authorities continues in the press. The camp is now fully set up with approx 300 people from all over Europe. Many local people are visiting the site, a group of around 40 mostly Kurdish and Afghani migrants are participating daily and a lot of local kids and young adults hang out.It runs alongside the main motorway from the port out of town and is just a few minutes from the “Jungle”, the makeshift camps where migrants are living. Migrants report that currently the controls at the border are very tight and that no one has been getting through for few weeks, consequently the number of migrants in Calais are at their highest in several years.People are using alternative and corporate tools for real time reporting.General info and resources: [ 1 | 2 | 3 ]
