Tahiti removal from UN decolonisation list 'unlikely'

Richard Tuheiava of the opposition Tavini Huiraatira Party said the territory was put back on the list by the UN General Assembly in 2013 because of the terms under which it is administered by France.

While the government of Edouard Fritch maintains that a majority of voters is against independence, Mr Tuheiava said that was not a determining factor.
