French police use force against refugees and migrants

Human rights group Utopia 56 posted a video on its Twitter account showing police violence against migrants sleeping under a bridge in Paris, France.

Report informs that the footage shows law enforcement officers "waking up" the migrants by kicking them. In the video, a migrant with an amputated leg leans on his armpit and tries to talk to the police.

Despite the cold weather, a group of homeless migrants eventually had to leave the camp.

Utopia 56 stated that they were Sudanese asylum seekers.

"Although these people must be provided with shelter and protection, they are constantly subjected to physical and psychological violence by the police," the human rights activists said.

L’un des hommes qui dort sous ce pont est accompagné par nos équipes. Il a un pied amputé et se déplace en béquilles. Il ne comprend pas pourquoi les policiers font ça. L'ordre de @prefpolice est le même pour tous : "partez !". pic.twitter.com/23Mzsk03Nw
