Stanislas Hutin, a moral figure committed to opposing torture during the Algerian War, passed away on September 2 at the age of 95. Shaped by the school of Catholic social thought, he served as a conscript in 1955-1956 in eastern Algeria.

His diary from that time received widespread attention in public debate about the moral corruption of French military operations, particularly regarding torture practices during the conflict.
