France: Forced evictions add to climate of fear amid alleged hate crimes | Amnesty International
"By failing to bat an eyelid in the face of alleged hate crimes, the
French authorities are incubating a climate of fear that will spawn more
such vicious attacks. All those responsible must face thorough
investigations and prosecutions that take into account any
discriminatory motive behind the assaults,” Jezerca Tigani, Deputy
Director for Europe and Central Asia at Amnesty International
The ongoing forced evictions of minority and migrant communities
around France are inflammatory and further violate the human rights of
the affected communities.
