Illegal ‘free party’ at French military site draws up to 40,000 ravers

Tens of thousands of partygoers gathered for an illegal "free party" at a military firing range near Bourges. The event was held despite warnings about unexploded World War II ordnance and authorities' concerns about serious risks. Organisers claimed the event was attended by 40,000 people to protest against proposed laws targeting unregistered raves.
