Description
Some 300 harkis and their descendants gathered in front of the Rivesaltes camp memorial in the Pyrénées-Orientales region to ask the State to restore their honour, beyond the "pardon" law, which was compared to "crumbs". In order to turn the page without tearing it apart, "we ask politicians for a law of reparation commensurate with our suffering, for all", says Hocine Louanchi, president of the Confederation of French Muslims repatriated from Algeria and their Friends. The harkis were recruited as auxiliaries to the French army during the Algerian war of independence (1954-1962). IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
