Jacqueline Netter-Minne-Guerroudj

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jacqueline Netter-Minne-Guerroudj was a Frenchwoman condemned to death as an accomplice of Fernand Yveton during the Algerian War. She was never executed, partly due to a campaign on her behalf conducted by Simone de Beauvoir[1].

She was born as as Jacqueline Netter to a bourgeois family at Rouen in 1919. She arrived in Algeria in 1948 as the wife of Pierre Minne, a professor of Philosophy[2].

Remarried in 1950 to Abdelkader Guerroudj (nicknamed "Djilali"), an activist in the FLN, she is known to history as Jacqueline Guerroudj.

On December 4, 1957, Guerroudj's daughter by her first marriage, Danièle Minne, was sentenced to 7 years in prison by a tribunal for juveniles[3].
