Djimi Highlights Sahrawi Human Rights Efforts
During a session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, the Sahrawi activist Ghaliya Abdulllah focused on the situation of those defending the right to self-determination in Western Sahara. She emphasized that the worsening suffering of the Sahrawi people results from the monitoring, silencing, and arrest of these defenders, along with restrictions on freedom, denial of the return of martyrs’ bodies, and obstruction of independent oversight. She stated that she is a survivor of forced disappearance and was deprived of basic rights despite a court ruling in her favor. She also noted that international special procedures are actually receiving allegations until 2026 concerning the targeting of defenders, including the case of lawyer Mohamed Hali. She pointed out that what is happening is more than individual cases and highlights the weak protection of human rights in the region. Abdulllah called on the Human Rights Council to protect those who report violations to the international community rather than punish them, affirming that the situation in the territory should not be considered invisible due to access restrictions or the nature of political issues.
