De Gaulle’s public appeal to the G.P.R.A. sealed Si Salah’s fate
Evidence
On the 20th the G.P.R.A. in Tunis announced that, under certain conditions, it accepted de Gaulle’s invitation and would send a delegation to France. On the 21st Jacquin deposited Si Salah and his colleagues at the appointed meeting place in Kabylia. It was the last time that any of them were seen alive by Jacquin or any other French official. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1190
