    Protesters stage 'die-in' at St Pancras station to demand safe passage for Calais ref

    Protesters staged a “die-in” at St Pancras station to demand refugees are allowed safe passage to Britain from Calais.

    Dozens of demonstrators congregated at the Eurostar terminal at 12pm on Saturday for an emergency protest at plans to clear an area of a makeshift migrant camp in the French port town, known as the "Jungle".

    On Friday, migrants living in the camp said they would resist efforts to move to new accommodation, indicating they preferred to stay in their tents.

    Hundreds of people said they would attend the rally organised by the London2Calais Convoy.

    A statement on the group’s Facebook page said: “The French state is preparing to bulldoze large sections of the so-called 'Jungle' refugee camp in Calais.

    “Around 2,000 people have been given three days notice of the planned eviction,coerced into applying for asylum in France without providing a real alternative for them to live.

    “Many of the people living in the Calais "Jungle", including unaccompanied minors, have close family in the UK.

    “As activists in Britain, we believe that while the "Jungle" is a symptom of the crisis in Calais and Dunkirk, the root cause is British migration and foreign policy.”

    Pictures from the scene show police have blocked entrance to the Tube station but British Transport Police told the Standard no disorder has been reported.

    Similar events are planned in Calais and Dunkirk.
