Corsican separatist Yvan Colonna (61) has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the 1998 murder of the prefect of Corsica. Colonna has been in a coma since he was attacked by a fellow prisoner in Arles prison in southern France. Demonstrators accuse the French authorities of not transferring Colonna to a prison in Corsica, contrary to Colonna’s request.
Corsican separatists fought violently for decades for independence from France. In 2014, the underground organization FLNC laid down its arms, at about the same time moderate nationalists gained political importance.
