7:39Now PlayingThe start of the Summer Olympics has put Paris in the spotlight as athletes and fans from around the world converge for the international games. But as the city rolls out the red carpet for tourists and athletes, it is also accelerating a process of "social cleansing" targeting migrants and the homeless, advocates say. TRNN's Dave Zirin reports from the streets of Paris at a press conference held at a former encampment for unhoused people that was cleared out by French authorities.
Speakers include: Paul Alauzy, a project manager at Médecins du Monde (Doctors of the World) and an organizer of Le Revers de la Médaille (The Other Side of the Medal) campaign; Jules Boykoff, Professor of Politics & Government at Pacific University, a former professional and Olympic soccer player, and author of numerous books, including 'Power Games: A Political History of the Olympics'; Francesca Morassut, a coordinator at the humanitarian aid organization Utopia 56; Aurélia Huot, a human rights lawyer with the Barreau de Paris Solidarité (Paris Solidarity Bar association).
