After The Legally Binding Rapport Of Michel Forst, Activist Try To Resupply Activists In The 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD
Activists from LVEL (La Voie Est Libre, meaning 'The Way Is Free') and other associations are currently trying to pass through the riot police to resupply the 'Ecureuils' (meaning 'Squirrels') who are living in the trees of the 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD (Zone To Defend) in Saix, Tarn, France, on March 1, 2024. Despite the demands of Michel Forst, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, for the resupply of the 'Ecureuils,' the riot police are blocking the efforts, including those of MP Karen Erodial, who also tried unsuccessfully. The 'Ecureuils' are occupying the trees to prevent them from being cut down for the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. The Gendarmes Mobiles (riot police) have intervened to clear the ZAD of all opponents and are now standing guard near the trees to prevent the supply of food and water by sympathizers. After two days of police efforts, only one 'Ecureuil' has been dislodged, but new trees are being occupied by 'Ecureuils' in a new area
