Evian march halted - 1 km to go!
by yossarian 2:38am Sun Jun 1 '03 (Modified on 5:42am Sun Jun 1 '03)


"Can you hear me talking through gas mask?" he sez. "We've made it to the
junction, the cops have done a massive gas job. There are a couple of
hundred of us in a field, and a few thousand others being pushed back along
the road." 


The police have made no move to advance on the demonstrators, they are
apparently trying to hold a fixed line and let the clouds of tear gas do
their work for them. The demonstrators have retreated in order to have a
discussion out of the gas. They believe that their original estimate of a
12km march was incorrect, and that they are only about 1km away from the
crucial junction that they want to block. As the group moved to have a
decision-making assembly, protestors erected barricades on the road to deter
the police.

The standoff continues. 500-700 people are confronting the police line and
getting heavily gassed but are no longer retreating. 300m back of this
group, the rest (a few thousand people) are having a spokescouncil. People
from the village are out looking around, shaking their heads at all the gas.

Loads of gas is being fired at the demonstrators at St-Cergues but they are
holding on. Stun grenades and water cannon are also being used, with the
police advancing water cannon, firing tear gas and stun grenades, and
retreating again. There is a burning barricade blocking the main road
between Annemasse and St-Cergues. The villagers, angered by the gassing, are
reportedly treating the demonstrators amazingly well, handing out lemons so
that people can use their acidity to counteract the gas, letting
demonstrators use their toilets, making coffee, and supplying water.

The demonstrators are about 100m from police lines, and are using hockey
sticks to smash back the gas canisters as well as picking them up using
gloves to throw them back.
