Resumption of Excavations at Harki Graves in Rivesaltes Camp

Resumption of Excavations at Harki Graves in Rivesaltes Camp

Nearly two years after the initial investigations, the issue of Harki graves at the Rivesaltes camp is seeing a significant development. Excavations are set to resume on the site to continue investigations into these burial sites.

The Rivesaltes camp was the scene of significant events in French history, particularly after the Algerian War. The current initiative aims to honor the memory of those interred there.

In parallel with the resumption of excavations, a commemorative stele will soon be installed in the municipal cemetery. This is where the discovered remains have been transferred, providing a place for reflection and remembrance.

This initiative is part of a desire to "make amends for what should have been better done," as highlighted by the source. It reflects a respectful approach towards the memory of the Harkis and their families.
