Henri Alleg

Henri Alleg (20 July 1921 – 17 July 2013), born as Harry John Salem, was a French-Algerian journalist, director of the ''Alger républicain'' newspaper, and a member of the French Communist Party. After Editions de Minuit, a French publishing house, released his memoir ''La Question'' in 1958, Alleg gained international recognition for his stance against torture, specifically within the context of the Algerian War (1954–1962).
