    tl;dr:

    French officials’ decision to dissolve an environmental group appears wholly disproportionate in violation of France’s obligations under international law, Human Rights Watch said today. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin confirmed on June 21, 2023, the dissolution of Collectif Les Soulèvements de la Terre, alleging the group incited violence, among other actions, during March 25 protests opposing the construction of a giant water reservoir in Sainte-Soline, western France. The French authorities should undo the dissolution of Collectif Les Soulèvements de la Terre and stop shutting down civil society, Human Rights Watch said. The government of France has an obligation under international law to respect, protect, and facilitate the exercise of the rights to freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly. These rights are interconnected and fundamental in a democratic society.
