Hundreds of migrants and homeless individuals have been forcibly removed from Paris ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Buses have been deployed to transport them to other cities, with many being taken to the fringes of the city.
This mass eviction has sparked controversy, with human rights groups accusing the authorities of “social cleansing” to present a sanitized image of Paris during the Games.
Despite official denials, the timing of the evictions has led to suspicions that the authorities are deliberately removing the homeless to improve the city’s appearance for the Olympics.
The evictions have been ongoing since April 2023, with over 12,000 people being expelled from Parisian streets during that period.
The recent evictions have seen hundreds of people being removed from the city, with many being forced onto buses to other parts of France.
