A body of a man found dead at Sivens last night.

The cause of death is not yet known but last night 100 to 150 protesters who we are told were throwing stones, and it is said incendiary devices, they were fired on by the gendarmes using tear gas and flash ball grenades. Somewhere in this mêlée one assumes this man was killed. 
Jean Luc Melenchon,Cecile Duflot and Jose Bové all were on the barricades with 2,000 peaceful supporters yesterday. It is sad that a group of  young supporters take things too far. A peaceful protest it has got to be, getting yourself killed is not going to save the countryside.
A report on the reservoir which  has been demanded by  la ministre de l'Ecologie Ségolène Royal  is out this coming week end.
