France just banned this climate activism group. Here’s why Human Rights Watch called the move ‘chilling’.
Climate activists in France are being “systematically targeted with repression,” Greta Thunberg has warned, as outrage over the dissolution of an environmentalist group grows.
On Wednesday, the French government shut down the environmental activist group Les Soulevements de la Terre (‘Earth Uprisings’).
Authorities accuse the group of provoking violence - but campaigners insist that the crackdown is disproportionately harsh.
