Jacqueline Guerroudj

Jacqueline Netter-Minne-Guerroudj (1919 – 18 January 2015) was a Frenchwoman condemned to death as an accomplice of Fernand Iveton during the Algerian War.^[1] She was never executed, partly due to a campaign on her behalf conducted by Simone de Beauvoir.^[2]

She was born to a bourgeois family at Rouen in 1919. She arrived in Algeria in 1948 as the wife of Pierre Minne, a professor of Philosophy.^[3] She remarried in 1950 to Abdelkader Guerroudj (nicknamed "Djilali"), an activist in the FLN. 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.^[4] Guerroudj died on 18 January 2015 in Algiers, Algeria.
