Yvan Colonna
Yvan Colonna was a Corsican nationalist and militant who became a prominent figure in the struggle for Corsican autonomy. He gained significant attention after his conviction for the murder of a French prefect in 1998, and his subsequent imprisonment sparked widespread protests and debates about Corsican identity and political rights. Colonna's tragic death in 2022 following an assault in prison highlighted the ongoing tensions surrounding Corsican separatism and the French government's handling of autonomy discussions.
