The evacuation operation of the rave-party in Redon (Ille-et-Vilaine) is "over", announced the prefect on Saturday, Emmanuel Berthier, welcoming that it took place "without a hitch".
The intervention was launched shortly after 5 p.m. to "put an end to a prohibited gathering" and "to stop the music", he said, indicating that there had been "a dozen arrests in total" , six lightly injured among the police and one slightly injured on the participant side, in addition to those of the night.
The objective was to "neutralize the sounds, the objective has been achieved", he added.
Violence and fears
Emmanuel Berthier praised “the very great mastery of force”.
Coming back to the clashes that took place during the night, he declared: "We were very scared last night".
The illegal rave party continued into the day after the night's clashes.
Friday evening, around 10:30 p.m., the gendarmes tried to prevent the installation of this forbidden teknival organized in tribute to Steve Maia Caniço, a young Nantes man who drowned in the Loire two years ago during the Music Festival.
Violent clashes followed for several hours and left several wounded on the gendarmerie side and participants.
A 22-year-old young man "lost a hand", had notably indicated the prefect Emmanuel Berthier.
