Lifestyle & Culture40,000 Ravers Descend on Illegal Party at French Military Firing Range
About 40,000 participants stormed a military firing range near Bourges, France, to hold an illegal techno rave, despite authorities warning that the site contained unexploded ordnance and was extremely dangerous.
A large-scale illegal electronic music party was held last weekend at a military firing range near Bourges, France, with approximately 40,000 people in attendance.
The event venue was a military shooting training range. Local administrative officials noted that the site may contain unexploded ordnance left over from World War II era, making it extremely dangerous.
Bomb disposal experts discovered an artillery shell near a road at the scene and immediately intervened to handle it.
The French parliament has been deliberating a new bill proposed to impose imprisonment sentences on organizers of illegal parties.
The organizers stated that this large gathering was also a protest against proposed legislation restricting rave culture.
Approximately 600 police officers were deployed by Friday, mainly targeting drug possession and traffic violations with fines.
