Farhat Hached (born February 2, 1914 in Abbasia ( Kerkenah ), † December 5, 1952 in Radès ) was a Tunisian trade unionist.

Life

In 1946, Hached was co-founder and first general secretary of the Tunisian trade union confederation Union Générale Tunisienne du Travail , which he headed until his death. He was a close associate of Habib Bourguiba , who later became President of Tunisia. Hached died in 1952 in an assassination attempt by the Main Rouge , a terrorist organization operated by the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure in the 1950s. When his death became known, there was a revolt in Casablanca . As a result, nationalists were imprisoned for two years without trial.

In 1955, his body, which was initially buried in Kerkenah, was reburied in a mausoleum in Tunis. It was replaced by a new building in 2002.

Hached left four children; his eldest son Noureddine Hached (* 1944) is a politician, Vice President of the Arab League and Ambassador of Tunisia. He called on the Tunisian government to reopen the case of his father's murder in 2009 after Al Jazeera aired a documentary that linked Habib Bourguiba to the murder. In the film, a former La Main Rouge member who said he was involved in the attack justified the killing as legitimate.

Honors

In 2002 the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions honored Hached with a ceremony in Brussels, commemorating him as a Tunisian, African and international trade unionist.

In almost every Tunisian city, one of the largest streets is named after Hached. The university hospital in Sousse is also named after him.
