Mobile kitchen Le Sabot was stooped and refused entrance at the French border, on their way to the protest camp in Strasbourg Ganzau.

The Lauterbourg police stopped mobile kitchen "Le Sabot" at the Lauterbourg border and refused entrance in France.
Le Sabot was on their way to cook for about 3500 people at the anti Nato protest site in Strasbourg Ganzau.

The reason why the border police banned Le Sabot is that the driver came up in a data-bank, she has never been in prison, never been convicted, but she did cook regularly with mobile kitchens at protest sites and demonstrations.
Another reason to ban Le Sabot from France is that they had legal advice information leaflets in the van. These leaflets are made by several solidarity groups and the legal team and are also spread around by solicitors and can be downloaded from the internet.
It is unknown for how long these people are banned from France.

After being banned from France the German border police confiscated all the cooking knives because according to the police they show there are militant actions planned.

The German police threated the cooks that they are not allowed to leave Germany.
