The French Supreme Court will examine the appeal of five Kanak pro-independence activists – including their leader Christian Tein – who are challenging their detention in mainland France on suspicion of having played a role in the unrest in New Caledonia.
This Tuesday's appeal at the French Supreme Court will examine in particular "the decision by the judges in Nouméa to exile the defendants without any adversarial debate, and the conditions under which the transfer was carried out," according to François Roux, one of the defendants' lawyers.
