The Baku Initiative Group (BIG) will always stand by the people of New Caledonia and support their struggle against French colonialism, BIG Executive Director Abbas Abbasov said on Friday.

The Baku Initiative Group (BIG) on Friday presented its report highlighting human rights violations in France’s overseas territories.

The Baku Initiative Group (BIG) is set to hold a press conference on October 25 to unveil a report addressing human rights violations in France's overseas territories.

The Baku Initiative Group has issued a statement strongly condemning the illegal detention of prominent anti-colonial African rights activist Kemi Seba by French law enforcement authorities.

France’s suppression of the rights of the New Caledonia people is unacceptable, said Isabelle Kaloi, a member of a New Caledonian party.
