NON A L’EVACUATION POLICIERE DU HANGAR ASSOCIATIF

*LOUE POUR LES REFUGIES !*

*Sarkozy/Hortefeux/Besson n’ont jamais dormi sous des températures d’hiver, ça se voit, ils viennenet de faire intervenir la police contre un local associatif loué pour mettre à l’abri les réfugiés Afghans, Somaliens, Irakiens, etc, de cet hiver particulièrement dur.*

*Après le « nettoyage de la jungle» de Calais suite au démantèlement de Sangatte, voilà la charge policière pour déloger, en piétinant sans honte la trêve hivernale, les centaines de réfugiés fuyant les guerres dans lesquelles sont engagées les soldats français.*

MIGRANT CENTRE EVICTED BY FRENCH RIOT POLICE IN CALAIS

Under instruction from the town authorities, the elite French CRS riot police today forcibly evicted the new Calais migrant centre - called Kronstadt Hangar - by smashing down the front doors, less than 24 hours after migrants and No Borders activists pushed through police lines to occupy the building, which has been legally rented by No Borders [1] and SoS Soutien aux Sans Papiers. [2]

Marie Chautemps said: "The Kronstadt Hangar was opened as a
direct intervention into a winter of repression that the migrants in
Calais have faced since their 'jungle' communities were destroyed in a cruel PR stunt, back in September."

SoS Soutien aux Sans Papiers "cette nouvelle jungle " de
Besson : du "tout permis" et violences d'Etat

Expulsion , et violences intolérables dans le hangar Cronsdat de CALAIS. BESSON s'agite à nouveau . Il détourne ainsi le vrai débat de fond, pourquoi ces exils forcés? Pourquoi cette violence envers des exilés obligés de fuir guerres, violences et misère.

Les conflits de l'occident obligent ces véritables " dégâts collatéraux" à rejoindre nos pays. Ce n'est pas par la violence et l'expulsion du hangar , ni en rasant leur campement , que Besson posera les vraies questions , mais il devra en répondre. Son discours mensonger et populiste ne trompe personne.

Following the repression of recent days in Calais after the opening of the Kronstadt Hangar, London No Borders is organising an infonight this Thursday (11th Feb) at 7pm to discuss what is going on there and how we support the struggle.

At the Library House, 52 Knatchbull Road (entrance on Burton Road, behind Minet Library), Camberwell, SE5 9QY.

This afternoon, Sunday 7th February, police raided the Kronstadt Hangar in Calais, smashing glass doors and arresting those inside.

The hangar, a new space for migrants and activists in Calais rented by the No Borders network and the French organisation SoS Sans Papier [1], opened yesterday afternoon to immediate repression from the authorities.
