Swedish Activist Greta Thunberg Speaks Against The Decried Highway A69 In The Tarn Department

Greta Thunberg (in red) is surrounded by activists as they prepare to visit the ZAD known as 'Crem'Arbre'. In the woods near Semalens in the Tarn Department, on the planned A69 highway route between Toulouse and Castres, opponents of this project are organizing a weekend of protest called the 'Cabanacade' with Swedish ecological activist Greta Thunberg. The event is taking place near the ZAD known as 'Crem'Arbre', which is a Zone To Defend, and is a call to activists and sympathizers to build huts for 'Ecureuils' ('squirrels'), who live in the trees to prevent them from being cut down. Greta Thunberg is expressing her concern, stating that it's insane to continue with such a project that will compromise the quality of life of the inhabitants and will destroy not only nature but also agricultural fields. The riot police 'Gendarmerie Mobile' are intervening several times to block the railway between Toulouse and Castres and are using tear gas canisters to intimidate the protesters, as the protest is taking plac

Despite the legally binding report from Michel Forst, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, which demands the resupply of the 'Ecureuils' in the 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD (Zone To Defend), activists from LVEL (La Voie Est Libre, meaning 'The Way Is Free') and MP Anne Stambach-Terrenoir are trying unsuccessfully to deliver supplies, even with a doctor's prescription and medicine for an 'Ecureuil'. The 'Ecureuils' and their trees have been besieged by the police for more than a month, with officers refusing to deliver the medicine to the 'Ecureuils' or to allow journalists to do their job.
