Under orders from the head of the Parisian police, Maurice Papon, the French National Police attacked a demonstration of some 30,000 pro-National Liberation Front (FLN) Algerians.<p>&gt;After 37 years of denial, in 1998 the French government acknowledged 40 deaths, although there are estimates of over 200.<p>&gt;Many demonstrators died when they were violently herded by police into the River Seine, with some thrown from bridges after being beaten unconscious. Other demonstrators were killed within the courtyard of the Paris police headquarters after being arrested and delivered there in police buses.</i><p>Here&#x27;s hoping history doesn&#x27;t repeat itself.
