France protests: Scuffles as police remove refugee tents in Paris

Описание: Paris pro-refugee protest: French riot police have been accused of using 'outrageous tactics' to clear hundreds of homeless refugees from one of Paris' biggest squares on Monday. Squads of officers moved into Place de la République, in the east of the city, on Monday night following reports that groups were planning to sleep there. The refugees, mainly Afghans, had set up around 500 small tents provided by the Utopia56 charity. Many had been moved on from an encampment elsewhere in the city and had not been rehomed after authorities drastically underestimated the numbers in the camp. Footage from the break up of the camp on Monday appears to show police beating people, including one French journalist who had earlier filmed officers tipping a refugee out of his tent. France's interior minister has described the images of the dispersal as 'shocking' and said he had ordered a 'detailed report' into the incident.
