Nouveaux débats sur la torture par l’armée française en Algérie

Abstract

The refusal of the French authorities to recognize the use of torture during the war of independence in Algeria remains. In the face of continued silence, two very different new initiatives, a call for recognition but also a campaign against the erection of a statue of General Bigeard, participate in an always sensitive historical debate.
