South African Police Evict Immigrants from Temporary Shelters

South African police have evicted several hundred immigrants from temporary shelters in Johannesburg after the refugees failed to register with the home affairs department.

According to the South African government the immigrants had been given adequate time to properly register and receive documentation yet the immigrants refused. On Tuesday riot police were sent in to the Glenanda temporary shelter and forced the undocumented immigrants out. They now face deportation.

The immigrants had sought refuge in the shelters following a series of attacks against foreigners that began in May. Those attacks, spread out across several cities in South Africa, targeted immigrants who had been seen as the source of high unemployment, rising food prices and crime.

At least 60 immigrants were killed in the attacks while tens of thousands fled before the government stepped in to curb the violence.
