The Saint-Denis exile camp's evacuation

The migrant camp at Porte de Paris in Saint-Denis (France) was evacuated on November 17th 2020 by the CRS (Republican Security Companies). After hours of waiting, more than 2,000 people were put on buses to temporary accommodation centers, although it appears that some buses stopped in the way and disembarked their passengers. More than 500 exiles were denied seats on the buses, and were evicted from the esplanade where the camp was located. The CRS pushed them into the street, as well as the associative activists who accompanied them, using their shields and then tear gas without any gesture on the part of any exile having been able to justify such an attitude. A man fell unconscious in Flora-Tristan Street in Saint-Denis after being chased and receiving tear gas.
