French Court Orders Release of New Caledonia Leader
A French court has decided to let Christian Tein, a leader who wants New Caledonia to be independent, out of jail.
This decision happened after some very dangerous riots took place in New Caledonia.
The court in Paris agreed with a previous decision to release Tein.
This means he can go free but he will be watched over by the legal system.
We don't know all the details of why the court made this decision.
A French appeals court ordered the release of pro-independence leader Christian Tein.
The ruling follows deadly riots that occurred in New Caledonia last year.
