(files) - File picture taken 13 April 2000 in Toulouse, southwestern France, of French anti-globalisation hero Jose Bove cutting down genetically modified colza plants, during an operation by some 300 anti-GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) activists. Bove was 22 June arrested by the police and jailed in Montpellier to serve a 10-month sentence for aiding in the destruction of genetically modified crops. The 10-month sentence he began serving was the accumulation of two convictions -- four months for destroying a stock of GM seeds at a site in France owned by Swiss biotech giant Novartis in 1998 and six months for ruining GM rice plants at a laboratory in Montpellier in 1999.
