📅 19 Juni 1956 📍 Algerije

French authorities executed Ahmed Zabana and Abdelkader Ferradj in Algiers. Their executions became a defining moment for the liberation movement and intensified Algerian opposition to colonial justice. The death penalty was applied through French courts under a system in which the colonised population did not exercise equal political power. The executions also demonstrate how legal process and colonial coercion worked together.
