Arborist-climber Thomas Brail On Hunger Strike Against The Planned Highway A69

A climuber takes a rest near a placard reading 'The world won't be destroyed by malicious people but by those who look without doing anything. Thomas Brail, the arborist-climber activist is on hunger strike for the 6th day in Saint-Germain-des-Pres (near Castres) as the planned and contested highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres is underway. He tried with other opponents to block the destruction of platanes by the 'Soins Modernes des Arbres' (ie 'Modern cures for trees') firm. The cutting went ahead heavily protected by police. Thomas Brail wants public authorities to react to the ecological consequences of this highway. Thomas Brail and other people stand in the trees to be cut for the highway. He's ready to continue his hunger strike until the works stop. The collective 'La Voie est Libre' (ie 'The Way is Free'), opponents and Thomas Brail want the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content to be given. Supporters and four others climbers stand with him. Dozen
