He's in France, rioting and intended, we hear, liberation (15)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enfranchisement

'liberation' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'he's in france rioting and intended we hear' is the wordplay.
'rioting' indicates an anagram.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'intended' becomes 'meant' (to mean something is to intend it).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'meant' sounds like 'ment'.
'hes'+'in'+'france'='hesinfrance'
'hesinfrance' anagrammed gives 'enfranchise'.
'enfranchise'+'ment'='ENFRANCHISEMENT'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
