The Wider Image: From France to Mali, a deportee’s struggle

Razor wire is seen in the courtyard of a detention centre, where migrants are sent to await deportation, in Mesnil-Amelot near Paris, France, November 18, 2024. French rights group La Cimade said it tracked 341 deportation orders issued last year as a result of new legislation. The group said it supported 191 individuals last year at the Mesnil-Amelot detention centre, near Charles-de-Gaulle airport, who would have previously been protected. Of those, 35 were deported, and 24 released due to courts overturning deportation orders, it said.  REUTERS/Stephanie Lecocq
