This Monday, June 3, the collective “Le Revers de la Medal” denounces “the social cleansing” carried out before the Olympic and Paralympic Games. According to him, 12,545 people were evicted from their precarious housing, between May 1, 2023 and April 30, 2024. Among them, there are many migrants, but also homeless people and sex workers.
“Naked”, “blindfolded” and “tied to their beds”… A doctor warns about the conditions of detention of Palestinian prisoners in an Israeli prison compared to Guantanamo by several human rights associations.
And then the managers of the “Foot2Rue” team, which represented France in the Kings League, described “a sketch” live on Sunday.
