Effigy of Farhat Hached - 30F
This 1956 Tunisian stamp commemorates Farhat Hached (1914-1952), an emblematic figure of the trade union movement and the fight for Tunisian independence. Farhat Hached born February 2, 1914 in El Abassia (Kerkennah) and assassinated December 5, 1952 near Radès, is a Tunisian union and nationalist leader. In 1946, at the age of 32, he unified his country's trade unionism under the banner of the Tunisian General Labor Union, of which he was unanimously elected secretary general, then gave it international notoriety for strengthening the cause of independence from French colonial power. With Habib Bourguiba and Salah Ben Youssef, he is one of the main leaders of the Tunisian national movement. While the first was arrested and the second wanted, the news of his assassination in December 1952, after threats through the press, triggered strikes and demonstrations in around fifteen countries, which degenerated in Morocco with the riots of December 7 and 8 in Casablanca. According to historians, he was assassinated by the Red Hand, an armed organization defending the French presence in Tunisia[1], which served as a front for the SDECE, the intelligence service placed under the direct authority of the President of the French Council, Antoine Pinay, who had consulted the Resident General Jean de Hauteclocque.
