The decree of dissolution of the Earth Uprisings is suspended. According to the Council of State, which rendered its decision this Friday, August 11, the government has not provided proof that the environmental collective endorses “violent acts against people”.
“The judges in summary proceedings consider that there is a serious doubt as to the qualification of provocation to violent acts against persons and property retained by the decree of dissolution”, indicates the high administrative court, which has yet to decide. rule on the merits of the case.
The case was debated during a river hearing of nearly three hours on Tuesday. At the hearing, the lawyers of the collective, Me Antoine Lyon-Caen and Aïnoha Pascual, castigated the many “approximations” and “untruths” put forward according to them by the government.
The government, which has been engaged in a standoff with the collective for several months, accuses the Uprisings of the Earth of “calling” for violence and “participating” in it, which the latter strongly contest.
