Bulldozers & cops outside migrant camp

south west | policing | news report Thursday September 17, 2009 15:36 by Look out

This report is for all in the south west but particularly those in 'NO BORDERS'

Getting news in that cops and bulldozers have surrounded the Pashtun (afghan) migrant camp in Calais, France, where children as young as 7 and 8 years old are living. It seems there finally gonna raze the place tonight, hours after the immigration minister announced it's be cleared before next week.

Cant even begin to express my anger....

Just to warn peoplethat we're getting contradictory reports about this now. The original piece of info came from a member of the charity, Salam.
Will update if things become any clearer.
