In France, in 2009, gendarmes swooped on the village of Tarnac, in the Correze département in central France, pulling 20 alleged anarchist activists from their beds and arresting nine of them: the Tarnac Nine. Two were subsequently released. One of them, Julien Choupat, has been charged with authoring the anonymous anti-capitalist pamphlet, The Coming Insurrection.
