A mural by the famous grafiti artist appeared on a construction building opposite the French Embassy in Knightsbridge, London. The mural is a criticism of the French police’s use of teargas on refugees. It depicts a young girl in tears and is inspired by the musical Les Misérables. A leaking canister of CS gas engulfs her from below.

The QR code beside the work links to a video of French riot police evicting the migrants from the “Jungle” refugee camp in Calais, northern France.
