TAV protestors block motorway

(see related) (ANSA) - Turin, December 17 - A group of around 20 hooded protestors against the TAV high-speed blocked the Turin-Frejus motorway in the direction leading to the French border on Wednesday. The demonstration took place after four No-TAV protestors were sentenced to prison terms of 3 years and 6 months each for involvement in an attack on construction site related to the controversial Turin-Lyon link. The four, however, were acquitted of terrorism charges. Motorists on the motorway were obliged to exit at Susa.
