Editing Maurice Papon (section)

===February 1962 massacre===
Papon was also in charge during the [[Charonne subway massacre|8 February 1962 demonstration]] against the [[Organisation armée secrète|OAS]]'s violent campaign for "[[French Algeria]]." Organised by the [[French Communist Party]] (PCF), the demonstration had been banned by the state. Nine members of the [[Confédération Générale du Travail]] (CGT) trade union, most of them communists, were killed at [[Charonne métro station]] by the police, directed by Papon under the same government. The funerals on 13 February 1962 of the nine individuals killed (one being Fanny Dewerpe) were attended by hundreds of thousands of people.<ref>{{cite news|title=Charonne, passé au scalpel de l'historien (interview with historian Alain Dewerpe, member of the École des hautes études en sciences sociales)|date=6 February 2006|newspaper=[[L'Humanité]]|url=https://www.humanite.fr/journal/2006-02-07/2006-02-07-823528}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Charonne et le 17 octobre enfin réunis|date=11 February 2006|newspaper=[[L'Humanité]]|url=https://www.humanite.fr/journal/2006-02-11/2006-02-11-823808}}</ref><ref>Alain Dewerpe, ''Charonne, 8 février 1962, anthropologie historique d'un massacre d'Etat'', [[Gallimard]], 2006. {{ISBN?}}</ref>

On 8 February 2007, the [[Place du 8 Février 1962]], a square near the metro station, was dedicated by [[Bertrand Delanoë]], the [[mayor of Paris]], after bouquets of flowers were deposited at the foot of a commemorative plaque installed inside the metro station in which the killings occurred.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}}
