Nine desert inmates start indefinite hunger strike
Nine Sahrawi prisoners from the Al-Akkari Ezziq group have begun an open-ended hunger strike after 16 years of arbitrary detention. Their protest is to oppose the denial of their right to be transferred to cities in Western Sahara. The strike involves prisoners distributed across three prisons and aims to pressure the Moroccan occupation authorities to implement United Nations resolutions condemning torture and arbitrary detention. It also seeks to expose human rights violations in the prisons, including torture, solitary confinement, and denial of medical care. Additionally, the prisoners demand the expansion of MINURSO's mandate to monitor human rights and allow visits to the prisons. They affirm their commitment to continue fighting until all their rights are secured and hold the Moroccan occupation responsible for their safety.
