South Africa: Showdown at Durban city hall

Metro Police on Firday arrested and forcibly removed more than 190 foreign refugees who had camped at the back entrance of Durban City Hall for two days. The group, which was made up predominantly of children with their mothers, had been trying to get some sort of assistance from the council but after a last warning to disperse, some began handing themselves over to police. Others were forcibly removed and all were taken away in Metro Police vans.
