国际英语新闻:Identification check in Paris migrants camp before evacuation: reports
PARIS, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) -- French Police on Monday checked identities of thousands of migrants camping outside Stalingrad Metro Station, north Paris to prepare the camp's evacuation, local media reported.
In a sorting out operation, police evacuated scores of illegal migrants to send them home, according to the news channel BFMTV.
A large slice of 2,500 migrants at the Paris camp are asylum seekers mainly from Sudan, Libya, Syria and Somalia, the report said.
The government pledges to clear Stalingrad camp but did not give accurate date, according to the report.
Last month, Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo pledged to open two centers for refugees by the year-end as part of the plan to tackle camping in the capital's streets and better receive thousands of asylum seekers who fled war and poverty in their native countries.
The French government pledged that 9,000 places will be made available at 460 "reception and orientation centers" for refugees. They will be dispersed into groups of 40 to 50 people for a limited period between three and four months.
The migrants who meet the asylum criteria will stay in France while those who do not will be repatriated.
