Foreigners
The Foreigners Commission of Act Up-Paris was created to defend the rights of foreigners living in France who are sick. Participating in the mobilization against immigration laws, first the Debré then the Chevènement laws of 1997 and 1998, it contributed in 1997 to having the law include stipulation of the non-deportability of seriously ill people. Today, a person with AIDS (PWA) may not be legally deported to a country where the necessary treatment and medical supervision are lacking.
