EVERYONE in front of Coquelles detention centre on Saturday 22nd August at 2pm We denounce the migration policies of our European countries We demand freedom of movement and settlement for everyone We demand the closure of retention/detention centres and the opening of borders SATURDAY 22nd AUGUST from 2pm RALLY DETENTION CENTRE (CRA) OF COQUELLES near CALAIS In Calais since 2002 and the closure of the Red Cross centre at Sangatte many migrants wander along the coast of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, hoping to find a way to get to England. In Calais more that 1000 migrants live in the woods (the “jungle”) and in squats, in indescribable conditions. The French Minister of Immigration Besson has announced the eradication of all the jungles of Calais before the end of the year and he wants to make Calais a “migrant-free town”. In the last few days tension has been mounting in Calais. Following some alerts from humanitarians on the sanitary conditions and the scabies epidemic which has been rampant for several months, a campaign of eradication will start on the 17th August with Médecin du monde. At the same time the préfect of Calais has requisitioned some showers (5 for 1000 migrants!). The No Border activists present in Calais since the No Border Camp in June call for reinforcements to prevent the daily, systematic violence.
