French police clear 600 Tibetan migrants from camp outside ParisFrench authorities said Tuesday that they removed some 600 asylum-seekers from Tibet from a camp on the edge of a forest outside Paris, which had grown into a rallying point for Tibetans in exile in recent years. The camp sprang up last August, the latest to emerge after several others were evacuated near Acheres, some 30 kilometres (20 miles) northwest of the capital. The area began attracting Tibetans after 2010, when a local aid association started offering meals, showers and help with their asylum requests.
