"France's citizens' rights tsar scolded the government on Friday for breaking the country's own laws by expelling Roma migrants from camps. The broadside comes just days after the European Commission threatened sanctions against Paris if it continued the evictions. French authorities have evicted tens of thousands of Roma from makeshift and often squalid camps across the country over the last two years in line with a policy that has drawn criticism from the European Commission, rights groups and some government ministers."
