Beijing evicts migrants onto cold streets, sparking outcry
  • 6 years ago
Police evict residents of a ramshackle neighbourhood of northern Beijing as part of a city-wide campaign that has thrown throngs of migrant workers onto the freezing streets in recent days. The harsh tactics have sparked a public outcry, but officials have argued that they are taking people out of unsafe homes in the wake of a fire that killed 19 people including eight children earlier this month.
