Lawyer Nouni Brahim has issued a formal response to David Lisnard following his comments on the October 17, 1961, massacre. Brahim argues that the memory of these events cannot be dismissed simply because someone was born after the fact or because Algeria has since gained independence. He highlights that families of the victims still seek justice and information regarding their loved ones, noting that the French government has officially acknowledged the repression led by Maurice Papon. Furthermore, the attorney underscores the importance of addressing the crimes of the OAS, including the 1962 assassination of Mouloud Feraoun and other educators. He emphasizes that honoring the victims requires historical precision and a responsible public discourse that refuses to minimize past atrocities.
