Paris - Thousands of protesters in 70 countries demonstrated on

Saturday against genetically modified organisms (GMOs), answering a

call from

the environmental organisation Greenpeace, it claimed.

 

A spokesperson said there had been demonstrations in Australia,

Bolivia, India, South Africa and the United States, among other countries.

 

In France, the chief protest was held in the west of the country, with

the organisers claiming 12,000 participants and the police putting the

number at 5,000.

 

The minister responsible for new legislation governing GMO crops is

mayor of the town.

 

Campaigner Jose Bove said operations against GMO crops would be resumed

unless the government amended its planned legislation.

 

Demonstrations occurred on a small scale in major French cities.
