France: Protesters condemn sentancing of six refugees to prison

Dozens of people gathered outside a court in Boulogne-sur-Mer, Monday, to protest against the decision to condemn six refugees from Afghanistan, Sudan and Syria to a month in a prison for storming a ferry and attempting to stow away to the United Kingdom.
Activists chanted slogans such as "Justice, racist!" and "refugees are welcome here" against the court's decision. The refugees have already spent a month in prison, with prosecutor Jean-Pierre Valensi reporting that they were already released.
On January 23, the group, which was originally made up of around 200 people, entered the port area following a pro-migrant demonstration which finished near by. The refugees and migrants split off from the rally before storming the port and boarding a ferry. The ferry's crew used water cannon on the refugees, who were eventually escorted off the boat by police.
