France: Fondation Abbé Pierre Launches Campaign against Anti-Homeless Measures

French homeless organisation Fondation Abbé Pierre has launched a campaign against the anti-homeless measures in different French cities. In most big cities, anti-homeless measures, such as anti-homeless benches or spikes in window shops, have become commonplace.
