France Arrests Climate Change Deniers Under New Orwellian Powers
France Arrests Climate Change Deniers Under New Orwellian Powers
Posted on November 28, 2015 by Sean Adl-Tabatabai in News, World
The interior ministry said that the measures were taken to prevent the activists from demonstrating at the COP21 conference.
About.hr reports:
Three of those concerned, who are in their late 20s, are suspected of belonging to the “radical opposition movement”, according to information obtained by AFP.
They are banned from leaving their home town in western France without special police permission, they must report to a local police station three times a day and remain at their homes between 8:00 pm and 6:00 am until December 12, the day after the talks are due to end.
The activists’ lawyer, Marie Dose, said the state of emergency was being “misused” in their cases.
“This is an attack on the right to demonstrate,” she said.
In the wake of the bloody jihadist attacks in Paris that killed 130 people on November 13, the government banned all public demonstrations linked to COP21.
Interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said the residency measures were “based on well-documented records” and those subject to them could appeal through the courts.
But he denied that the state was overstepping its limits.
“The state of emergency does not negate the rule of law,” he told AFP.
Stephan Oberreit, head of Amnesty International France, said the measures taken by the government were “disproportionate”.
“The systematic banning of all meetings linked to COP21 deprives critical voices of an essential outlet to express themselves,” he said in a statement.
France’s Human Rights League (LDH) on Thursday condemned the decision to place Joel Domenjoud, a member of the legal team for the coalition of protest groups, under house arrest.
US President Barack Obama and China’s Xi Jinping are among more than 140 world leaders due to attend the talks, held in a heavily secured purpose-built conference centre complex at Le Bourget outside the French capital.
Negotiators will try to forge a deal to cap average global warming at two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) over pre-Industrial Revolution levels.
