France Bans Rally by British Far-Right Group Opposed to Migration

French authorities have banned a rally by British far-right activists opposed to migration, scheduled for Saturday in northern France. The gathering, named Overlord, aimed to disrupt departures of migrants towards the United Kingdom. Authorities state that members of the British far-right movement Raise the Colours are involved in intimidating migrants and humanitarian organizations. The ban applies to gatherings near several cities in northern France and is in effect from tonight until Monday morning. Recently, ten British far-right activists were barred from entering France for acts of violence against migrants.
