Thousands of people took part in Sunday's march on the French Mediterranean island of Corsica, in solidarity with independence militant and convicted murderer Yvan Colonna, himself grievously injured in a recent attack by a fellow prison inmate. The suspected attacker is facing terrorist charges and an investigation is underway.
The police estimated the number of participants in Sunday's protest in Corte at 4,200. March organisers said 15,000 people took part.
