(French police DEMOLISH protest camp, after 450 migrants pitch their tents in center of Paris (VIDEOS
Police in Paris has cleared out a temporary migrant camp set up in the middle of the French capital, clashing with pro-migrant protesters. The demonstrators say the migrants set up the camp to demand accommodation.
Rows of identical tents sprung up on the Place de la République in central Paris on Monday.
The camp was organized by Utopia56, a migrant advocacy group, who say that the 450 or so migrants in the encampment were left homeless when police cleared 2,000 migrants from a shantytown in the suburb of Saint-Denis last week.
