PARIS: British celebrities including Jude Law and playwright Tom Stoppard appeared at the “Jungle” migrant camp in northern France on Sunday to draw attention to the plight of refugees facing imminent eviction.

The event was organized by Letters Live, which gets actors and comedians to read letters from famous historical figures, and Sunday’s event was set to include new writing by refugees living in the camp on the outskirts of Calais.

Also due to take part were singer Tom Odell, comedians Matt Berry and Shappi Khorsandi and actor Toby Jones, with their readings translated into Arabic, Farsi, Pashto and Kurdish.

Law helped organize a petition to Prime Minister David Cameron this week, urging him to press France for a delay to the demolition of the southern part of the camp, which could start as early as Tuesday.

Over 96,000 people, including over 150 public figures, have signed the letter, which calls for children in the Jungle with relatives in Britain to be reunited with their families while their asylum cases are heard.
