...riot police. But when the riot police finally moved into the church, the migrants didn't fight but filed obediently into buses waiting to ferry them to local police stations. Before the eviction, Kurshid - an 18-year-old Iraqi Kurd who paid smugglers $6,000 for the month-long journey via Istanbul to Sangatte - stood outside the church with a towel wrapped around his head against the cold.
