A group of around 50 migrants say they were tear-gassed by French security forces after failing to cross the Channel to the UK on a small boat, according to reports provided to a charity
which shared the footage, said that at least six children were part of the group, and that migrants told them the incident had been unprovoked as they were walked away from the beach.: “Testimonies say the people already couldn’t manage to cross. We don’t know if they were stopped by the police or the boat broke.
In a separate incident the same morning, French media have also reported that 38 migrants were arrested after a failed crossing from Oye-Plage, with three gendarmes injured after their buggy overturned after stones were thrown by some migrants.Utopia56 said this group had also been teargassed before launching the boat, which was badly damaged by heavy waves.
“Violence, everything, is allowed now on the coast to stop people crossing even though its children, women. It seems like violence is not a a problem anymore. Now it’s all the time.Last week, Captain Pierre-Felix Martin, from the Saint-Omer gendarmerie company, toldthat three officers were slightly injured in the other incident after their buggy swerved onto sand.
