Nun tackles climate protester attempting to block pilgrim centre
A Catholic nun tackled a climate activist to the ground during a protest in a French town on Monday, 16 October.
Protesters gathered in Saint-Pierre-de-Colombier, a village in the Bourges Valley village, to voice their opposition to plans to build a pilgrim centre.
Environmental activists have clashed with the Famille Missionnaire de Notre-Dame (Missionary Family of Our Lady) in the dispute.
Footage shows a nun running at a protester who was holding pipes before pushing him to the ground.
The incident came after nuns from the group formed a human chain around a digger to stop protesters from chaining themselves to the machinery.
