The prefect of Côte-d'Or has banned protest demonstrations in part of the city center. The anarcho-autonomous movement intends to organize an undeclared walk.

The ban comes at the same time as the "ZAD des Lentillères" organizes its traditional "spring festival" for the first time in more than 10 years. The prefect says that "participation in a prohibited demonstration is punishable by a maximum fine of 135 euros" For confidential support call the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90, visit a local Samaritans branch or see www.samaritans.org.
