French police arrest three as hundreds try to destroy GM crops

Posted by Billbar from Yahoo News!

French police arrested three people after hundreds of protesters including anti-globalisation icon Jose Bove tried to destroy a field in the Lot-et-Garonne area of southwest France of genetically-modified maize. Bove, a leading figure within the anti-globalisation movement who in the past has been imprisoned for similar actions, said the crops were indeed genetically modified. "We covered more than 400 hectares (990 acres) across the whole of the southwest to determine whether they were GM. Here, we were able to verify it," he said.
