Torture during the Algerian War

An Algerian is submerged in water and tortured by the French army using electricity, while two tires serve as containers (1961).

Elements from the French Armed Forces used deliberate torture during the Algerian War (1954–1962), creating an ongoing public controversy. Pierre Vidal-Naquet, a renowned French historian, estimated that there were "hundreds of thousands of instances of torture" by the French military in Algeria.[1]
