Abstract EN

The French colonial authorities in Algeria have a rich repressive asset that extends throughout the occupation period.

The detention centers, regardless of their names and geographical distribution, were one of the most important manifestations of the oppression and tyranny imposed on the Algerian people.

On the eve of World War II, France embarked on a major security plan to confront the possibilities of the Algerians 'rebellion against it.

It enacted laws of administrative detention and created a network of detention centers modeled on Nazi camps in Europe.

After the outbreak of the Blessed Liberation Revolution, France re-activated various restraining laws against Algerians, based on the exceptional measures authorized by the emergency law declared in April 1955, which included a return to the application of the policy of administrative detention against "suspects".

In this context, the procedure for establishing a detention center came Aflou, which the French documents call the "Aflo Residence Center", which is designated to receive deportees from various Algerian cities and the métropol on charges of supporting the revolution and harming the security of the French state.

Accordingly, this scientific paper examines the definition of this center.
