GMO : Monsanto increases its repression
Call for an increased resistance

On the 26th of November, the Monsanto Corporation (Round-Up, Agent Orange,
Terminator) seized the bank accounts of the Confédération Paysanne, France's
second largest agriculture trade union.

This decision follows a judgment after the neutralization, in 1998, of
open-air cultivations of GM maize and soya.

The Confederation Paysanne is being attacked, even though this action was
aimed at avoiding genetic pollution and the patenting of the living by
multinational corporations.

« Les Amis de la Confédération paysanne » (Friends of the the Confédération
paysanne) denounce this repression.
