Anti-terrorist measures against activists before the October 31 demonstrations

On October 24, 2026, an environmental activist received a police visit to report to the police station in the name of an "ultra-left terrorist threat". The following week, the Interior Ministry issued house arrest orders based on anti-terrorism provisions targeting activists, sometimes without a criminal record. Around the October 31 and November 1 demonstrations, about 75 people were targeted by individual administrative control and surveillance measures, with cases reported in Belfort, the Drôme, Lot, Nord, and Vienne. The Poitiers administrative court lifted the demonstration ban targeting three environmental activists from Vienne.
