Forced migration of migrants; France's struggle to hide bad situation of Paris refugees with start of Olympics

Pars Today - According to French human rights organizations, the treatment of migrants at the same time as the Olympics is completely contradictory to the values stated in the charter of the Games, which include "human dignity, friendship and equality".

The French government, a few days before the 2024 Summer Olympics, sent migrants to small towns in a discriminatory move that sparked public outrage in France. According to Pars Today, the mayors of small towns in France are increasingly angry about the transfer of migrants from the capital to their cities, saying the government's move is an attempt to clean up Paris at the same time as the 2024 Summer Olympics.

In this regard, French human rights organizations announced that according to registered statistics, the French police transferred 13,000 migrants and refugees from Paris one year before the Olympics.

These organizations believe that all these actions are to hide the images of poverty and misery in Paris.

According to French human rights organizations, the treatment of migrants at the same time as the Olympics is completely contradictory to the values stated in the charter of the Games, which include "human dignity, friendship and equality".

The Al-Arabiya network reporter describes the situation in Paris before the Olympic days as this: "These days, the situation in Paris, which is preparing to host the Olympics, is as follows: clean streets and squares decorated with signs and colors related to the Olympics; But behind these romantic images of Paris during the Olympic days, there are bitter and dark human realities.

Security forces have hidden thousands of refugees and migrants from view." A coordinator of Doctors Without Borders, also said: "Today, to get to our workplace, we had to pass through train and metro stations, all of which are witnessing a massive presence of security forces and police. This issue increases our concerns about the people we serve, most of whom are undocumented."
The British newspaper "The Telegraph" had previously written about France's severe security atmosphere for the Olympics: Paris is witnessing the largest presence of police and military forces since its occupation by Germany.
