Torture And Interrogation In Algeria Through Foreign Testimonies (1954–1962): Henri Alleg’s Testimony As A Model
Authors : Ouamane Houria .
Abstract
Many anti-French colonial figures in Algeria witnessed the torture and interrogation methods used by the French military services. The purpose of these practices was to subject victims to severe questioning in order to obtain secret information related to the National Liberation Front and Army, which revealed the brutality and inhumanity of the French colonizer. Among the most notable testimonies is that of the activist and journalist Henri Allag, who was tortured and documented his experience in his writings, the most significant of which is The Question. Through this work, he exposed France and the practices of its army and military apparatus to the world’s public opinion. Hence, the importance of his testimony lies in serving as both evidence and witness to the crimes of French colonialism in Algeria during the Algerian War of Independence.
