  • FRANCE-OVERSEAS-NCALEDONIA-POLITICS-JUSTICEKanak pro-independence leader Christian Tein (C), head of the CCAT (Cellule de Coordination des Actions de Terrain), poses for photographs as he attends a press conference flanked by his lawyers François Roux (L) and Florian Medico (R) in Montpellier, Southern France, on June 18, 2025. On June 12, 2025, a French court freed independence leader Christian Tein, from the overseas territory of New Caledonia, who had been detained for a year over deadly riots in 2024. Christian Tein, who hails from from the indigenous Kanak group, was charged and incarcerated over the rioting on the Pacific archipelago in May last year that left more than a dozen dead. He has been held in custody in eastern France since June 2024 but has always denied accusations of instigating the violence and sees himself as a political prisoner.
