Thousands Gather for Anti-Nuclear Protests
Thousands of anti-nuclear protesters demonstrated across France amid heightened fears of guerrilla attacks on the country’s 19 plants in the wake of the attacks in the United States.
Police said about 2,500 people marched through the southern city of Toulouse, chanting anti-nuclear slogans and brandishing banners demanding the abolition of France’s highly developed nuclear power and defense industries.
About 3,000 demonstrators gathered in Lyons in the southeast, and smaller protests were held in Colmar in the northeast, Lille in the north and Nantes in the west.
