Larbi Ben M'hidi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Larbi Ben M'hidi (1923–1957) was a prominent Algerian leader during the war of independence. He was captured by French paratroopers in February 1957 while supervising the guerilla actions of the FLN in the Battle of Algiers and tortured to death by the French Special Services. His "suicide" was announced on March 6th, 1957. He is considered in Algeria as a National Hero.

General Paul Aussaresses admitted in 2000 the use of torture during the war and sought to justify it. He also recognized the assassination of lawyer Ali Boumendjel and of Larbi Ben M'Hidi ^[1].
