  • Friends of the Earth International demands an immediate and thorough investigation into the death of 21-year-old Rémi Fraisse, who died during protests against the Testet Dam on Saturday October 25 in the Sivens forest, France. The organization notes witness accounts that a massive police presence "fired into the crowd," which is considered the likely cause of death.
  • The organization calls for the permanent abandonment of the Testet dam project and the restoration of harmed land, noting that a French Ministry of Environment report had already characterized the project as "over-sized and damaging."
  • Friends of the Earth International criticizes the role of industrial agriculture companies that deplete water sources and impose dams at the expense of wetlands, alleging these companies are protected by political powers and police despite acting unlawfully by ignoring water protection orders. The organization further condemns a "global trend of militarisation of police forces" used to suppress civil protests in favor of corporate interests.
