In February of 1958, the Sophian published an article on the events, at which time Khemisti was still imprisoned. The Sophian presumably published the article because of the involvement of the U.S. National Student Association, which sent a cable to the french Ministers of the Interior demanding Khemisti\u2019s release on November 16th, 1957. Another Sophian article was written in April, about the London Conference of National Unions of Students, which met to discuss the events in Algeria.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Police Quell Students\u2019 Rise (<\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/weaving-voices-archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/316\/2018\/10\/1958.02.20-Police-Quell-Students%E2%80%99-Rise-5.jpg\"><b><i>5<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i>, <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/weaving-voices-archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/316\/2018\/10\/1958.02.20-Police-Quell-Students%E2%80%99-Rise-6_Civilizations-Merge-Together-Colorful-Indian-Bazaars-6.jpg\"><b><i>6<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i>)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/weaving-voices-archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/316\/2018\/10\/1958.04.29-Students-Discuss-Algerian-Problem-e1538430570874.jpg\"><b><i>Students Discuss Algerian Problem<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[Last updated on October 31, 2018]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 20, 1958 Sophian reports on the dissolution of the National Union of Algerian Students [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2028,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[28,22],"class_list":["post-1292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1950s","tag-28","tag-abroad","entry","grid"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/weaving-voices-archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/weaving-voices-archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/weaving-voices-archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/weaving-voices-archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2028"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/weaving-voices-archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1292"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/weaving-voices-archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1292\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2388,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/weaving-voices-archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1292\/revisions\/2388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/weaving-voices-archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/weaving-voices-archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/weaving-voices-archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
