Dozens of protesters have occupied the Vatican embassy in Paris to voice their support for a number of undocumented migrants on hunger strike who were thrown out of the church.

According to AFP, on Monday, several dozen demonstrators occupied the offices of the embassy in the French capital, carrying banners that read, “Jesus defended the stranger. What have you, Christian, done for your undocumented brothers?”
The embassy, known as the Apostolic Nuncio, has confirmed the occupation. However, it made no immediate comment on the incident.
No injuries have been reported. Security forces have also been stationed near the place.
The demonstration was held in support of a group of around 50 undocumented migrants, mainly Algerian, who have been on hunger strike since November asking to be regularized.
On December 21, police forces removed the migrants from a church in France’s northern city of Lille.
