Baku-APA. French police fired tear gas grenades and water cannons to suppress the unrest in the border city of Calais, as activists and migrants attempted to stage a protest despite a ban from the government, APA reports quoting Sputnik.
On Saturday, activists intended to march from the refugee camp that was dubbed the Jungle and has become a symbol of the ongoing migrant crisis in Europe to the center of the port city.
The rally was assembled by the International Coalition of Sans-Papiers Migrants and Refugees (CISPM) organization a day after authorities put a ban on public events associated with migrants.
