This afternoon, Sunday 7th February, police raided the Kronstadt Hangar in Calais, smashing glass doors and arresting those inside.
The hangar, a new space for migrants and activists in Calais rented by the No Borders network and the French organisation SoS Sans Papier [1], opened yesterday afternoon to immediate repression from the authorities.
After the opening police blockaded the streets around the hangar and triedto prevent migrants from entering. In spite of this 150 migrants went in to have tea and coffee.
