Activists in life threatening condition at bridge between Geneva and Lausanne


Blockade action at highway between Geneva and Lausanne:
The police has broken the piquet line that sustained the blockade, and cut the ropes of the activists that were hung tied to bridge. One activist have fallen from the bridge at 20 meters of height, fracturing various bones. He is alive but seriously injured in life threatening condition.

The police doesn’t allow ambulance and firemen arriving to the location, or allow any help the second activist that is still hanging on the edge of bridge hanging on a thin thread, to be able to come up, and is arresting everybody present.


APPEAL TO LAWYERS, JOURNALISTS, PARLIAMENTARIANS, DOCTORS TO GO THE LOCATION – HUMAN LIFE IS IN DANGER!

Geneva dispatch confirms that none of the two activists whose ropes were cut off at the motorway bridge near Aubonne are in live threating condition.
One of them has broken many bones, but his live is not in danger.
bad enough!
