Escapees Udpate in Nice - Ten detainees awaiting deportation escaped from the administrative detention centre (CRA) in Nice on Sunday by climbing through the roof using makeshift tools. Exploiting a distraction during meal distribution, they broke a lock, accessed the roof, and descended with improvised ropes. One was recaptured, and an investigation is underway to find the others, amid criticism of the centre's outdated facilities and staff shortages.
