Fernand Iveton

Fernand Iveton (his surname is sometimes erroneously rendered as "Yveton"; 12 January 1926, Algiers – 11 February 1957) was the only pied noir among the 198 supporters of the FLN who were executed (as opposed to being killed in battle) during the Algerian War.

The father was a member of the Algerian Communist Party (PCA) which the younger Iveton also joined, at the age of sixteen.

In November 1956, Iveton, who worked as a turner at the Algerian Gas Company, was given the task of planting a bomb at the Hamma power station.

He was a political officer who liaised between the Combattants de la Libération and the FLN, while she was a teacher, originally from Rouen in France.

The Guerroudjs were condemned to death but never executed, partly due to a campaign conducted by Simone de Beauvoir.
