Gendarmes used tear gas to disperse demonstrators trying to supply opponents of the A69 motorway in Saïx, in Tarn. UN special rapporteur on the protection of environmental defenders Michel Forst asked the French authorities on Thursday for “authorization without delay and without hindrance for the supply of food and drinking water” The prefect of Tarn, for his part, affirmed having given Michel forst "all the explanations on the intervention of the police" The Court has sent questions to the French government and will rule on this request on Monday.
