Thousands march in Toulouse

http://www.france24.com/en/20151121-thousands-march-against-barbarity-french-city-toulouse

More than 10,000 people marched Saturday in the French city of Toulouse for peace and against "barbarity" a week after the devastating attacks in the capital left 130 people dead.

~~~

Police surrounded the march in Toulouse as residents braved an icy wind to march under a banner reading: "For freedom and peace, against barbarity and conflation."

The march took place largely in silence.

"It is a silence of contemplation, but also determination," said Bernard Dedeban, secretary-general for the FSU union, one of the organisers of the march.



In solidarity with the marchers -- suffragette.
