A Sudanese woman was found dead in a lorry at the Tunnel this morning.
Two men died in the past two days. One was Sudanese or Eritrean according to the police, and the other Pakistani. The first man died yesterday night after being hit by a lorry. The young Pakinstani man died yesterday of his injuries after being run over on the motorway the night before.

Both men have not been named yet.
 
There have never been so many deaths in Calais, and that is due to the border being closed, for the will of the UK government who invested 12.000.000 euros in building a new fence. People are forced to take bigger risks to try and to to England.
 
There were 13 deaths since the beginning of June. 4 more bodies were found this year, thought to be of migrants who died while trying to swim across the Channel.
 
There were 15 deaths in Calais last year, that we know of.

NEW VIDEO ABOUT POLICE VIOLENCE BY NO BORDERS ACTIVISTS:
New post (must read):
Police violence has much to do with deaths at the Calais border. According to eye witnesses, a group of migrants were sprayed with CS gas in the face. A young Eritrean woman of 23 died as a direct result, her eyes were so sore that she could not see where she was going and was fatally injured by a vehicle while crossing the motorway, 24th July. Shame on the French State and the French police murderers!

Wer rettet die Flüchtlinge?

Eigentlich hatte keiner in der Sea-Watch-Crew damit gerechnet, dass ihr Einsatz im Mittelmeer sich derart dramatisch entwickeln würde. Fünf lebensrettende Einsätze innerhalb von sechs Tagen. Am 13. Juli um 7:00 Uhr sichtet die übermüdete Crew ein völlig überladenes, marodes Boot mit 150 Flüchtlingen in den Wellen, 100 km nördlich von Libyen.
