French News (Non Trump for a Change)

Post by Forty Two » Wed Jun 20, 2018 4:56 pm

Child refugees are being abused, detained and illegally sent back to Italy by French border guards, according to a new report from Oxfam.

Some children as young as 12 were being held overnight in cells without food, water or blankets, or access to an official guardian, the report states
. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 99531.html
French police routinely stop unaccompanied children and put them on trains back to Italy after altering their paperwork, either to make them appear older or to make it look as though they want to be sent back, the report states.

Border guards have also cut the soles of the children’s shoes or stolen their mobile phone’s SIM cards, Oxfam staff said.

One Eritrean girl, described as “very young”, was forced to walk along a road with no pavement while carrying her 40-day-old baby
y.
Around a quarter are thought to be children, who have reported feeling abandoned in reception centres.

They said they were given no opportunity to attend schools or training, while being provided with no information about how to claim asylum or reunite with family members in other European countries.

After months or even years of waiting, many decide to continue their journey alone, while others are pushed out of the centres as soon as they turn 18.

Many sleep under a motorway just outside the town of Ventimiglia, as the only nearby reception facility has a heavy police presence and compulsory fingerprinting which may deter them from staying there.

well, if they did not want to be separated from their parents, it was up to the parents not to leave them alone... we have trouble with isolated minors, not with separating kids from their parents.

In other French news, large areas of rural France and much of the south are as close to heaven as anywhere you can find on the palnet for my money. Not just the scenery and the climate but the way of life.

Perfectly reasonable treatment by the French, of course.

When it comes to rugby, they are a lot different to us (i.e. they tend to win, we tend to lose :( ).
