Activist's funeral turns into demo against France

A funeral for a murdered union activist turned into a demonstration by around 3,000 mourners on Guadeloupe, who demanded better treatment of the Caribbean island from France’s government.

People clad in white and black packed a gymnasium in the cane-growing area of Petit-Canal to hear poems about struggle and songs in homage to Jacques Bino, the activist shot dead last week in the French overseas department, apparently by rioting youths.
