Day of action for Freedom of Movement, Paris, 15/05/10

Barriers to freedom of movement are on the rise

These days, it's not just migrants and sans-papiers who are being stopped and questioned by the authorities, but precarious workers, and stigmatised youth alike; all are being forced to undergo checks on identity and travel documents on the basis of their physical appearance.

...Spread the word & be vigilant...

Governments seek to legitimise the increasing control and surveillance of the social sphere each day via an expanding toolbox of security legislation.

Mass occupation by sans-papiers in Paris

Since July 2009, up to 3000 undocumented workers and their families [sans-papier] have occupied an empty office block in the 18th arrondisement of Paris known as the "Ministry for the Regulariation of all Sans-Papiers".
