A week after an attack on pro-independence activist Yvan Colonna in prison, anger spilled onto the streets of Corsica overnight leading to the forced entry into an Ajaccio courthouse, with several injured in the clashes.
Colonna, who is convicted of the murder of the regional prefect Claude Erignac in 1998, has been in a coma after being violently attacked last week by a fellow prisoner incarcerated on terrorism charges.
