Paris, Jumada II 3, 1437, Mar 12, 2016, SPA -- Police in the northern French city of Calais detained 14 anti-migrant protesters during a demonstration on Saturday, dpa cited a spokesman for the local prefecture as saying. Some 80 people blocked two bridges in the city, the spokesman said. The extreme right-wing group that organized the protest, Generation Identitaire, said 130 people participated in its call to restore national borders and protect "Europe for Europeans." Thousands of migrants have been staying in makeshift camps in Calais in a bid to reach Britain via the English Channel. France recently began clearing part of the camp and moving people into more permanent accommodation. --SPA 14:48 LOCAL TIME 11:48 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
