Police Force out Migrant University Squatters After Staff Infected with Scabies

Police in Paris forced over 60 migrants squatting in a university building to leave after staff became infected with scabies parasites. Police removed the group of migrants from the University Paris-8 in Saint-Denis on Tuesday finding that much of the building had been covered with graffiti and some of the building had suffered heavy damage, France24 . The police were met by a human chain of 70 or so far-left activists attempting to stop them from evacuating the migrants but were able to push through and used tear gas to gain access to the site. The migrants were then led from the site onto a bus which took them to a gym in Raincy. Around 100 migrants have been squatting in the university since January 30th. Most of the squatters come from West Africa, according to , and were helped by far-left activists who turned the building into a dormitory for the migrants, assisted by the president of the university. The evacuation order came after staff at the university discovered they had been infected with the skin parasites along with the vandalisation of an administrative building several days prior which caused significant damage to the building. | http://bit.ly/2KgsLZa
