HUMAN rights campaigners in Manchester have called for a round-table meeting with councillors and homeless people living in a camp which has repeatedly been moved on and dismantled only to be set up elsewhere in the city centre.

The camp, now in Albert Square, has about 40 residents, including refugees, moved around around since April last year.

Well-wishers have been providing camp residents with food and equipment.
