Three officers were seriously injured, suffering burns from Molotov cocktails thrown at them, Beta news agency reports. Policemen hurt in Corsica demo Police said that some 1,500 people gathered, while organizers claim 15,000 were present at the demonstration. Police and demonstrators clashed in the city's center, when some protesters set the former city hall on fire and damaged several buildings. AFP reports that the rally was called following accusations of police brutality on Monday during a demonstration against a Paris appeal court's decision to jail a shepherd convicted of murdering the Mediterranean island's top French official for at least 22 years. Yvan Colonna, 48, was convicted of gunning down Claude Erignac in 1998 on the prefect's way to a concert in Ajaccio. A school student was seriously hurt in the face during Monday's protest. Corsican security official Gilles Leclair condemned what he called an "urban guerrilla" and Corsican "nationalists' disinformation campaign" about the circumstances in which the student was hurt, reports AFP.
