    7th Day At The 'Verger' ZAD Against The Planned A69 Highway

    7th Day At The 'Verger' ZAD Against The Planned A69 Highway

    An NGE/Atosca worker places a placard reading 'construction site forbidden to public' under gendarmes' protection. For the fifth day, the Gendarmerie and CNAMO try to dislodge 'Ecureuils' (i.e., 'Squirrels') from the trees they occupy at the 'Verger' ZAD (Zone to Defend). The 'Verger' ZAD is situated on the planned and disputed A69 highway project. NGE/Atosca begins the destruction of the house and the cutting of all the trees. The CNAMO is a specialized unit of gendarmes to unlock protesters. 'Ecureuils' (i.e., 'squirrels') live in the trees of the 'Verger' ZAD. The Gendarmerie breaks a deal between protesters and bats ('chauve-souris' people living on the rooftop of the Verger's house): four bags of food and water for 'ecureuils' in exchange for four 'bats' who leave the roof with only an ID check. The Gendarmerie does not keep its word and brings them to a police station. Gendarmes of the CNAMO catch only one squirrel. Atosca cuts the tree immediately. They try without success to catch the other 'Ecureuils

The rally, co-hosted by the families of the victims, opposition lawmakers, and civic groups, is condemning the rejection of the special law for the 10.29 Itaewon disaster. Hong is emphasizing the need for further investigation into the truth, stating, ''Even after 500 days since the tragedy, the cause of the accident, the truth about that day, and proper punishment for those responsible have not been realized. Only now has a decision been made to indict the chief of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. It is truly devastating and disheartening.'' (Photo by Chris Jung/NurPhoto)
