Maurice Laissant (11 March 1909 – 29 September 1991) began his career working for the French national railway company before taking a job as a sales representative.
He became progressively more widely known as a militant anarchist individualist, free thinker and pacifist.
He was a co-founder in 1953 of the newly regrouped Paris based Anarchist Federation. In 1955 he hit the headlines when he was convicted for printing a poster condemning the war in Indo-China and the writer Albert Camus publicly came to his defence.
