Protests in New Caledonia have flared up after seven pro-independence activists were detained and taken to France for their alleged role orchestrating riots against a controversial voting reform bill.
A town hall, police station and several other buildings were set alight across New Caledonia, France's high commission to the South Pacific territory said.
Among those flown to mainland France was Christian Tein, who was charged in connection with riots, looting and arson last month in which nine people were killed.
