Globeandmail: French anti-GMO militant gets early release


Villeneuve-les-Maguelone, France — French anti-globalization activist José Bové walked free from prison Saturday several months ahead of schedule, after a court replaced his term for destroying genetically modified crops with community service.

To the cheers of supporters waiting outside the prison in southern France, Mr. Bové declared himself unrepentant.

"Being in prison has not changed my convictions," he told reporters. "For me, it is clear that the fight must continue."
