UN Committee Condemns Moroccan Regime
The United Nations Committee Against Torture issued a resolution indicating that Morocco violated the Convention Against Torture through the detention conditions of the Sahrawi defender, Abdel Moulay Al-Hafiz, at Ait Melloul Prison. These conditions are considered degrading treatment, including overcrowding, lack of windows and natural light, poor ventilation, and insufficient water and heating. The committee expressed concern over the Moroccan authorities’ failure to conduct a prompt and effective investigation into the complaint, stressing that prison conditions are being used as a means of punishment against defenders of the Sahrawi people's rights. The committee recommended compensating Al-Hafiz and ensuring that such violations do not recur, giving the authorities 90 days to implement the required measures. These issues are part of a broader pattern of targeting Sahrawi rights defenders, and this decision serves as a confirmation of the suffering endured by detainees due to their opinions and peaceful stance.
