France: Police Evict Asylum Seekers from Grande-Synthe Refugee Camp

HeadlineOct 24, 2018

In France, police removed close to 2,000 refugees out of the Grande-Synthe camp in the northern city of Dunkirk. The camp has become a central hub for migrants attempting to reach the U.K., after the nearby Calais refugee camp—known as 'the Jungle'—was demolished in 2016. Grande-Synthe was built as a joint effort between the mayor of Grand-Synthe and Doctors Without Borders, but it has become a political flashpoint in France, and authorities have attempted to evict camp residents several times already this year.
