Senior officials of the prison administration will be heard as part of the investigation into the attempted assassination of which Yvan Colonna was the victim.

"The hearings will focus in particular on the conditions of surveillance and the prison situation" of the Corsican independence activist, "as well as on the course of detention of his attacker, Mr. Franck Elong Abe", wrote the Law Commission of the National Assembly in a press release.

This cycle of hearings organized by the deputies will begin next week with that of the director of the prison administration, Laurent Ridel, as well as the current and the former director of the Central House of Arles.

"Other hearings may follow," said the Law Commission chaired by Yaël Braun-Pivet (LREM).

Further investigation required

The attempted assassination of which Yvan Colonna was the victim on March 2 at the Arles prison (Bouches-du-Rhône), by a radicalized co-detainee convicted of acts of terrorism, aroused a wave of emotion and of anger in Corsica.

The autonomist president of the Corsican executive council, Gilles Simeoni, asked, with the president of the Assembly of Corsica, the creation of a parliamentary commission of inquiry into this violent aggression "particularly troubled".

During the program Dimanche en politique on France 3, the President of the National Assembly Richard Ferrand (LREM) recalled that such a commission could not "overlap" or "replace a judicial inquiry".

But "if necessary, the National Assembly, as soon as it resumes its work, that is to say in June", may "decide to create a commission of inquiry", he said. he declares.

"We take note with a start of satisfaction from these hearings", commented the Corsican nationalist deputy Jean-Félix Acquaviva (Freedoms and Territories), also a member of the Law Commission.

"But we hope with deputies from other parliamentary groups that all the administrative, but also political protagonists can be invited to these hearings", he added.
