A rights group has accused French police of using pepper spray on migrants in Calais on a regular basis but authorities deny the claims.
French police are regularly using pepper spray against migrants in Calais, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said Wednesday, an accusation denied by authorities.
In a report entitled Like living in hell, the use of pepper spray against migrants massed in the northern coastal city is described as routine.
Police use of pepper spray in Calais is so common that many asylum seekers and migrants had difficulty recalling precisely how many times they had been sprayed, the report said.
Of 61 migrants questioned by the prominent international human rights group between the end of June and the beginning of July, 55 said they had been sprayed during the two weeks before the interview, and some said they had been sprayed every day, the author of the report, Michael Garcia Bochenek, told AFP.

What do you mean by "these people"? They are "migrants". That's not a particular ethnicity is it? That's like people who go from vineyard to vineyard bringing in the grape harvest or something, right?/sarc
Pork spray...
BS. They can only use pepper spray if taking automatic fire.
Which do they want, sprayed with mace or sprayed with bullets?
They need to use a nerve agent.
Maybe they can't count past 2.
Switch to Napalm.
pepper spray?
Bullets, hollow point hopefully,
Bullets on illegals, not pepper spray
Rounds are too expensive. You can pick up 100 rounds of 00Buck at Cabelas for under $80. You need to incorporate fiscal responsibility.
I guess they should have shot the migrants.
I wish they’d start packaging wasp spray for carry. It works a lot better than pepper spray....and they wind up at the hospital. lol
