London2Calais couple return for mass rally
Thousands turn out to back refugees’ march
A YOUNG London couple who have raised over £11,000 for refugees in Calais returned to the camp with a convoy this weekend to join a “refugees welcome” demonstration in the French town.
Over 50 people came from across Britain as part of the London2Calais initiative, started this summer by newlyweds Syed Bokhari and Mona Dohle.
In Calais the group spoke to some of the over 3,000 people living in squalid conditions in the camp, also known as The Jungle, before joining a 2,000-strong protest march to the port.
