Morocco tightens crackdown on Sahrawis
The occupied desert areas have witnessed an unprecedented escalation in systematic repression by the Moroccan occupation, coinciding with parliamentary elections in Morocco. The Sahrawi Body for the Support of Victims of the Moroccan Occupation (ISACOM) condemned the ongoing policies of repression and retaliation faced by defenseless Sahrawi activists, including the suppression of activists in Boujdour and the storming of their homes due to their rejection of the illegitimate elections organized by the occupation in the occupied territories. The National Human Rights Mechanism also warned of increasing violations as the anniversary of the National Unity Day approaches on October 12, calling for international investigations to ensure accountability for those responsible for these abuses. In a related context, the Association of Victims of Violations documented the detention of 17-year-old Sahrawi youth, Omar Moulay Hamed, by Moroccan security forces in occupied Smara, where he was subjected to mistreatment and lengthy interrogations, along with threats to his family. They consider these practices to be blatant human rights violations and a breach of guarantees for fair trial.
