Rémi Fraisse had a degree in Nature Management and Protection, he volunteered as a botanist, and had a precarious employment situation. Music was another Rémi Fraisse"s main interest. He played the guitar and the didgeridoo, and reggae and blues were the music styles he enjoyed.
The Sivens Dam project created an ecologist and anti-developmental movement which occupied the humid zone affected, renamed it as "ZAD de Testet", and faced the progress of the construction works by both non-violent and rioting means.
According to his relatives, Rémi Fraisse felt outraged, and ran away spontaneously towards a skirmish, as he realized how violent the National Gendarmerie was being against the demonstrators. Some minutes later, his lifeless body was collected by the authorities.
After that day, the French government had suffered a social and political crisis for over a month, with riots in Toulouse, Albi, Gaillac, Nantes, Paris, Saint-Denis, Rennes, and Dijon, and many other protests across the country.
