The family of Corsican freedom fighter Juan Colona, convicted of the assassination of politician Erignok, filed a lawsuit against the government (Bouches-du-Rhone) on Wednesday in the Marseille Administrative Court on Wednesday for allegedly assaulting a fellow inmate at the Arles prison on March 2.
“Various elements of the investigation, as reported by the press, and the inquiries of members of parliament only aroused suspicion as to whether the attack on Juan Colonna was directly linked to a series of administrative disorders,” the lawyer writes.
He recalled that Section 44 of the Law of November 24, 2009, “Prison administration must ensure that every detainee has the effective protection of his physical integrity in all public and private spaces.”

Juan Colona, who was sentenced three times to life in prison for the murder of Claude Eriknock, who was shot several times in the head in 1998 in Ajaccio, died at Marseille Hospital on March 21, where he was transferred and remained in a coma permanently.
According to several sources, the invader of Juan Colona justified his action by saying that the Corsican militant had insulted and “spoken ill of the Prophet”. However, Mark Ollier, director of Arles’ Central House, considered it “not very credible” and, during a hearing before the National Assembly’s Legal Commission, assessed that the killer “wanted to pay him something.” Known ‘.
