On 3 of july 2011 no tav people annunce a big demonstration against the tav - 70000 people arrived from italy and europe. The aim was to siege the construction site in chiomonte, val di susa. 7 hours of battle in the woods. Riot police shoot tear gas continuously from about noon to 18, and at times, when agents expect new supplies of tear gas, they thrown large stones to the protesters that have caused some injuries.
They used hydrants and even a bulldozer to stop the notav people who respond launching rocks and defend themselves with barricades craft.
