Police apologizes for passing on activists' identities to wholesalers

The police apologized for sharing personal data of seven animal rights activists with Hanos, a wholesale company, without legal grounds. The activists protested against foie gras sales, which involves animal cruelty. After their demonstration, police requested identification, and while seven activists complied, they did not consent to share their information. Despite assurances from the police that their data was not shared, they later received a two-year ban from Hanos, raising concerns about data privacy. The police are investigating the incident to understand the error.
