Around 16 sans-papiers are currently camping outside the  town hall in Brest, following their eviction yesterday from the town hall’s foyer which they had occupied since 10th August.

A spokeman for local collective Casss-papiers told Le Telegramme newspaper that they have had had no contact with the municipality about emergency accommodation. The protestors include families from Serbian, Kosovo and Albania.

Local supporters are concerned for the safety of the protestors and yesterday evening helped them to camp inside nearby disused school.
