Colonial law compelled doctors to surveil wounded Algerians under legal penalty

Evidence

The dominant authority, for that matter, has organized the over-all behavior of the doctor as it relates to the struggle for liberation. Thus, any doctor treating an Algerian whose wound appears suspicious must, on penalty of legal action, take down the name of the patient, his address, the names of those accompanying him, their address, and communicate the information to the authorities. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 434 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
