The French National Assembly voted Thursday to condemn the brutality of a 1961 police crackdown on Algerian protesters, which left about 120 people dead.
About 12,000 Algerians were arrested in the crackdown and dozens were killed, "their bodies thrown into the Seine River," President Emmanuel Macron acknowledged in 2021 on the 60th anniversary of the massacre.
Historians say at least 120 protesters died, some shot and some drowned, Macron’s office said then.
