Question 8841 — overseas

Summary

Mrs. Marianne Maximi alerts the Minister of State, Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, on the situation of Kanak detainees forcibly transferred to mainland France. Following several months of investigation, the Kanaky solidarity collective carried out meticulous investigative and review work which revealed serious failings by the State regarding the treatment and continued detention of Kanak prisoners. The deputy thus notes that almost 90 of them were transferred to around forty penitentiary establishments in mainland France, sometimes in a manner contradictory to the penal situation to date. The opacity in which these forced transfers took place seriously taints the credibility and fairness expected of the judicial authority. Today, several detainees are in the process of being released. However, the prison administration refuses to repatriate them to Nouméa so that they can be released on site, arguing for example that the emergency passports, issued by the administration in order to authorize transfers, are expired and without proposing any other solution than full payment of plane tickets by the people concerned. The MP therefore notes that the first prisoners released in France thus find themselves in a situation of great precariousness, without any health coverage in addition, since they only have temporary registration during their incarceration, to the extent that social security is administered, in New Caledonia, by CAFAT. Finally, she insists on the fact that this situation is likely to considerably weaken the discussion process which is currently taking place between the different parties, concerning the institutional future of the New Caledonia. Recent history shows enough drama and tragedy for all authorities to act with all the discernment and respect for human rights that the situation requires. Therefore, she asks him what measures he intends to implement to resolve this unbearable situation as quickly as possible, which violates the principles of human rights and fuels political tension in New Caledonia.
