In Paris, police step up encampment evictions ahead of the Olympics

Police officers stand by as people take their tents down and exit an encampment.

Human rights groups say that in the approach to the Paris Olympics, police have stepped up evictions and deportations of people living and working on the streets of the capital and surrounding suburbs. They say law enforcement is targeting the city’s most vulnerable, in what some activists describe as social cleansing.
