  • The activist Remi Fraisse, aged 21, died on October 27 during a protest involving approximately 2,000 people against the construction of the Sivens dam in Gaillac, southwest France. The project is opposed because it causes the deforestation and flooding of a strategic wetland and affects local farmers.
  • Remi Fraisse was hit by explosive grenades deployed by the French gendarmerie during a peaceful protest. ATALC demands that French authorities take responsibility and calls for an independent investigation to identify those materially and intellectually responsible for the killing.
  • The Sivens dam project is characterized as an example of land and water resource grabbing by a small number of companies with state support, mirroring a model of dispossession seen in Latin America and the Caribbean where transnational corporations privatize life and alienate community habitats.
