We the undersigned protest at NATO and the French authorities threat to ban the international 'No to NATO, No to War' demonstration in Strasbourg on Saturday 4 April. We protest at the fact that NATO's 60th anniversary meeting will be held inside a Red Zone that encompasses the whole of the city centre and that even Strasbourg residents will need a special pass to come and go in their own city.

We demand that the authorities lift the threat to exclude the international peace demonstration from the city. We demand that Strasbourg remains an open city.
