British street artist Banksy has painted a new controversial piece calling out the French government for its mistreatment of refugees in the infamous Calais camp , also known as "the Jungle."

The image, which is painted near the French Embassy in London, features the iconic image of the young girl from the musical "Les Misrables" with tears streaming down her face and the bottom half of her body obscured by gas.

Near the bottom of the piece is a QR code, reports the Guardian , which allows viewers to access a video of a raid carried out on refugee camps by French police on Jan 5.

The piece is to be dismantled Monday, according to Mashable .
