The requisitions made on Tuesday, November 28 at the trial of the organizers of the demonstrations against the “basins” in Sainte-Soline, in Deux-Sèvres demonstrate a “desire to stifle the movement”denounces Wednesday November 29 on franceinfo Benoît Feuillu, Earth Uprising activist, tried before the Niort criminal court.
The prosecution requested on Tuesday, November 28, six to twelve months of suspended prison sentence against nine defendants. The prosecutor also requested a ban on appearing in Deux-Sèvres for three years against two activists from the Soulèvements de la Terre collective, Basile Dutertre and Benoît Feuillu.
Benoît Feuillu sees in these requisitions a way of wanting “stifle the movement” protesting the mega-basins project. “The fact of telling people who are so involved that they no longer have the right to go to the place where the struggle which has animated them for years is being organized, obviously it is a desire to seek to neutralize a movement”, he believes. The environmental activist considers, however, that such a ban would not prevent the organization “future mobilizations”. The Niort criminal court has reserved its decision until January 17.
