  • Jacqueline Netter-Minne-Guerroudj (27 April 1919 – 18 January 2015)[1] was a Frenchwoman condemned to death as an accomplice of Fernand Iveton during the Algerian War.[2] She was never executed, partly due to a campaign on her behalf conducted by Simone de Beauvoir.[3]

    She was born to a well-off bourgeois family of Alsatian Jews in Rouen in 1919. She arrived in Algeria in 1948 as the wife of Pierre Minne, a professor of philosophy.[4] She remarried in 1950 to Abdelkader Guerroudj (nicknamed "Djilali"), an activist in the FLN. On 4 December 1957 Guerroudj's daughter by her first marriage, Danièle Minne, was sentenced to 7 years in prison by a tribunal for juveniles.[5] Guerroudj died on 18 January 2015 in Algiers, Algeria.
