  African activist Kemi Seba released from custody in France

Kemi Seba, known as a person fighting for the rights of African peoples, has been released from detention in France, AzVision.az reports. 

Seba was detained in Paris not by police officers, but by French special services.

Seba was accused of collaborating with foreign countries. He was facing up to 30 years in prison for this charge. However, no facts related to this were proven in court.

Kemi Seba was arrested in Paris by French special services on October 15. He is known as one of the symbolic leaders of the movement for Africa's independence and sovereignty and actively fights against neocolonialism. He is also one of the main critics of French neocolonialism.

Seba was born in 1981 in Strasbourg, France. In 2024, the French government stripped him of his citizenship for openly criticizing the country's authorities for the damage caused to African countries as a result of Paris's colonial policy, and for supporting independence movements in France's overseas territories.

The French authorities have repeatedly arrested Seba to force him to back down from his position.

In response to losing his French citizenship, the president of Niger appointed Seba as a special advisor, and several African countries gave him diplomatic passports.
