ByJeffreySchaefferand Jason Parkinson The Associated Press CALAIS, FRANCE More than a dozen humanitar- ian organizations on Tues- day accused authorities of brutally evicting migrants from their makeshift dwell- ings in a sprawling camp in northern France, as fiery protests of the demolition continued. Thousands of migrants fleeing war and misery in their homelands use the port city of Calais as a springboard to try to get to Britain on the other side of the English Channel. How- ever, authorities are moving to cut short that dream by closing a large swath of the slum camp in the port city of Calais. In the stinging accusa- tion at the close of the sec- ond day of a state-ordered mass eviction and demoli- tion operation, the organiza- tions charged that authori- ties have failed to respect their promise of a humane and progressive operation based on persuading mi- grants to vacate their tents and tarp-covered homes. "Refugees, under threats and disinformation, were given one hour to 10 min- utes to leave their homes," a statement said. Police pulled out some who refused, mak- ing arrests in certain cases, while others were not al- lowed to gather their be- longings or identity papers, the statement charged. Migrants and pro-mi- grant activists protested againsttheevictionTuesday, some climbing onto shanty rooftops to briefly stall the tear-down, and others by starting a night fire. Tents and tarp-covered lean-tos were also set afire on Mon- day and earlier Tuesday. The protesting organi- zations alleged that police aimed flash-balls at the roof protesters, then clubbed them and made some ar- rests. Tear gas, water cannons and other tactics have been used excessively, the state- ment charged. Organizations respected for their humanitarian work with migrants, such as Auberge des Migrants (Migrants' Shelter), GISTI and Secours Catholique were among the 14 who signed the list of charges. The mass evictions from the southern sector of the camp were announced Feb. 12 with promises by Inte- rior Minister Bernard Caze- neuve that there would be no brutality. However, the Monday start of operations came as a surprise. The regional prefecture in charge of the demolition says the hundreds of police present are needed to pro- tect workers in the tear- down and state employees advising migrants of their options. France's government has offered to relocate uprooted migrants into heated con- tainers nearby or to centers around France where they can decide whether to apply for asylum. Officials have blamed activists from the group No Borders for the ongoing unrest. But many migrants resist French of- fers of help, afraid of hurt- ing their chances of reach- ing Britain. Officials say the evic- tions concern 800-1,000 migrants, but organiza- tions working in the camp say the real number is more than 3,000. A court has ordered that common places like houses of worship, schools and a li- brary that have sprung up must not be destroyed. The city bordering the Channel has ferry links and the Eurotunnel rail to England, and is temporary home to an estimated 4,000 migrants, down from 6,000 in December. The camp has become a flashpoint be- tween France and Britain, fueling far-right support in both countries. "This operation will continue in coming days, calmly and methodically, providing a place for every- one as the government has committed," French Inte- rior Minister Bernard Ca- zeneuve said in a statement Tuesday.

PAVEL GOLOVKIN — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A Chinese reporter is bandaged by a Russian military officer a er he fell while moving to safety during explosions in Kinsibba, Syria, on Tuesday. By Vladimir Isachenkov The Associated Press KINSIBBA, SYRIA Artil- lery shells struck near the main street of a Syrian vil- lage controlled by the gov- ernment on Tuesday, send- ing international reporters diving for cover and high- lighting the fragility of a partial cease-fire that both sides in the civil war say has been repeatedly vio- lated. The blasts that shook Kinsibba, near the Turk- ish border, came as the journalists were touring the village under Russian military escort. No one was wounded by the ar- tillery, but some suffered minor cuts as they ran for cover or threw themselves to the ground. Russian Defense Min- istry spokesman Maj.- Gen. Igor Konashenkov, who was on the trip, said the shells came from po- sitions held by the al-Qa- ida-affiliated Nusra Front, which along with the Is- lamic State group is ex- cluded from the cease-fire that began Saturday. The U.S. and Russian- brokered "cessation of hos- tilities" has brought the first wide-scale reduction in violence seen in Syria's five-year civil war, but has been rattled by alleged vi- olations. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters in Geneva on Tuesday that any fac- tion that repeatedly vio- lates the cease-fire can be attacked. The cease-fire is in- tended to pave the way for the resumption of peace talks to end the conflict, which has killed more than 250,000 people and displaced half the coun- try's population. The office of the U.N. envoy for Syria said he has pushed back the planned resumption of talks between the govern- ment and the opposition to March 9 for "logistical and practical" reasons. Staffan de Mistura had earlier said the talks — which last broke down in early February after just a few days — would resume March 7. Syrian President Bashar Assad meanwhile told Germany's ARD televi- sion that moderate rebels who lay down their arms can expect "full amnesty." But it was unclear whether any rebels would take him up on such an offer after years of civil war, mass de- tentions and widespread allegations of severe hu- man rights violations by his government. Shelling near reporters sh ow s lim it s of t ru ce CIVIL WAR By Michael Weissenstein The Associated Press HAVANA The Rolling Stones announced Tues- day that the group will play a free concert in Ha- vana on March 25, becom- ing the most famous act to play Cuba since its 1959 rev- olution. The Stones will play in Havana's Ciudad Deportiva three days after President Barack Obama visits Ha- vana. The concert is ex- pected to draw a massive audience in a country where the government once perse- cuted young people for lis- tening to rock music. "We have performed in many special places dur- ing our long career but this show in Havana is going to be a landmark event for us, and, we hope, for all our friends in Cuba too," the band said in a statement. Along with easing many restrictions on foreign mu- sic, art and literature, the Cuban government has in- creasingly allowed large gatherings not organized by the state in recent years. The Stones concert will al- most certainly be one of the largest since Cuba began easing its limits on some non-official gatherings in the 1990s. "I'm definitely going to go," said Ivia Perez, 39. "It makes me think about be- ing in high school, after the period of censorship. I lis- tened to a lot of rock back then." On the same week as the visits by Obama and The Rolling Stones, the Tampa Bay Rays are expected to play the first Major League Baseball exhibition game in Cuba since 1999, part of an extraordinary string of events in a country that spent the Cold War isolated from the United States and its allies. Cuba and its cap- ital have been flooded with tourists, visiting dignitaries and celebrities more than a year after Obama and Cu- ban President Raul Castro announced on Dec. 17, 2014 that they were moving to normalize relations. Cuban fans have been buzzing about a possible concert by "Los Rollings" since lead singer Mick Jag- ger visited Havana in Oc- tober. "It's part of a dream to see the greatest icons of mu- sic who couldn't come be- fore for various reasons, above all Cuba's isolation," said Cuban music critic Joa- quin Borges Triana. "The Rolling Stones are going to magically unite generations of Cubans, from people in their 60s to their children and grandchildren." The Havana "Concert for Amity" will cap the Stones' America Latina Ole tour through seven Latin Amer- ican cities. The band said it will donate instruments and other musical equip- ment from sponsors to Cu- ban musicians during their visit. The biggest musical per- formance in Cuba to date was held in 2009, when the Colombian singer Juanes drew more than a mil- lion people to a show ti- tled "Peace without Fron- tiers" in Havana's Revolu- tion Plaza. That concert angered Cuban-American exiles in the U.S. and its organizers wrangled with Cuban offi- cials over performances by local artists critical of their government. U.S. govern- ment contractors also tried to use the concert to pro- mote programs designed to foment political change in Cuba. The Stones concert is ex- pected to take place in a more relaxed political en- vironment, as the U.S. and Cuban governments move rapidly to make their new relationship appear irre- versible before the end of Obama's term.
