Four years after the death of Rémi Fraisse, between 100 and 200 people gathered at the site of the Sivens dam (Tarn), to pay tribute to him. The 21-year-old environmentalist had succumbed to the explosion of an offensive grenade fired by a policeman during violent clashes on the construction site of the controversial Sivens water reservoir.
Two hundred people according to the organizers, a hundred according to the gendarmerie, gathered in the Tarn, on the site of the Sivens dam, to pay tribute to Rémy Fraisse, a few hundred meters from where the young environmental activist is died four years ago.
On October 26, 2014, Rémi Fraisse, 21, succumbed to the explosion of an offensive grenade fired by a gendarme, during violent clashes on the site of the controversial water reservoir of Sivens.
At the beginning of January, the justice delivered a dismissal in favor of the gendarme, in the investigation on the circumstances of the death of the young militant.
A rave party since Saturday morning
On the sidelines of the tribute, since the morning of Saturday, November 3, 350 people came to participate in a rave party, installed on the site of Métairie neuve, which was the place of life of the zadistes during the occupation of the site. That Sunday afternoon, the ravers began to disperse.
At the end of 2015, the initial project for a large dam in Sivens was abandoned by the State, which opened discussions for a less ambitious water reservoir, as part of a territorial project currently under discussion.
