          A Red Rebel from Extinction Rebellion is standing in front of riot police in Toulouse, France, on April 21, 2024.

Political parties, unions, and NGOs, including La Voie est Libre, GNSA, CGT, Sud, Greenpeace, Extinction Rebellion, LFI, NPA, Amis de la Terre, and FSU, have called for this day of protest. Several MPs from La France Insoumise and elected officials from towns along the planned A69 highway route are participating in the protest.

                      Michel Forst, United Nations Special Rapporteur On The Situation Of Human Rights Defenders, Came To The 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD Against

                      Police officers from the CNAMo are arresting an 'Ecureuil' in very dangerous conditions while Michel Forst is present. Michel Forst, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, is visiting the 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD (Zone To Defend) in Saix, France, on February 22, 2024, to see for himself if allegations of excessive police violence, deprivation of food and water, and other issues are true. During his visit, the riot police are not allowing any media to follow him into the ZAD. Even the two Members of Parliament, Karen Erodi and Anne Stambach-Terrenoir, are not permitted to enter. Opponents of the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres have established a ZAD called 'Crem'Arbre', where 'Ecureuils' (squirrels) are living in trees to prevent them from being cut down. The Gendarmes Mobiles (riot police) are intervening to clear the ZAD of all opponents and are now standing guard near the trees occupied by 'Ecureuils' to block the supply of food and water by sympathizers.
