Elements of the French Armed Forces a well as The Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) made use of torture during the Algerian War of Independence (1954–62), creating an ongoing public controversy. Pierre Vidal-Naquet estimates that there were "possibly hundred of thousands of instances of torture" by the French military in Algeria [1]. The Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) also engaged in extensive use of extreme violence including torture, especially against pro-French and uncommitted members of the Muslim population.
