*Wednesday 29th July (12.30pm)
Around 9.00am this morning police surrounded the Pashtun (Afghan) 'jungle' and they forced all migrants to be photographed one by one and in groups.
"There are always CRS (riot) police coming to the 'jungles' in groups of about 20 at a time. Some sneak in through the trees, and then everyone is shouting 'police in the jungle'"
Thursdays are a common day for increased police raids so this may be a preparation.
