(Baonghean.vn) - On February 25, the Lille Administrative Court decided to reject the petitions against the relocation of part of the illegal migrant camp in Calais. The demolition of the slums will continue, but the Calais authorities will still allow the retention of the "living space" of migrants such as churches, synagogues, cinemas, schools and community kitchens.

| The demolition of the slums was started by the Calais authorities on February 22. However, due to opposition from organizations and associations in France, the demolition was forced to stop until the Lille administrative court issued a verdict on February 25.
