France: Police evict hundreds of migrants squatting in Paris theatre for months
French police raided a theatre in central Paris at dawn on Tuesday, briefly using tear gas to evict more than 400 migrants who had been squatting there for months, as hundreds of demonstrators protested their removal. The migrants, including many unaccompanied minors, had occupied the leftist Gaité Lyrique theatre, a concert and arts venue, since December 10, in a demand for shelter.
