Nine desert prisoners in Moroccan prisons continue hunger strike
Nine Sahrawi prisoners in the occupation prisons of Morocco are continuing their open-ended hunger strike for the third consecutive day, protesting against the confiscation of their right to transfer to cities in Western Sahara. Despite international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention, affirming the right to such transfers. The prisoners aim to pressure the occupation authorities to implement UN resolutions that condemned their arbitrary detention and revealed serious human rights violations they are subjected to, such as torture, isolation, and solitary confinement, as well as their deprivation of healthcare. The list includes four prisoners in Tifelt Prison, one in Aït Melloul Prison, and five others in Kenitra Prison. The Sahrawi Prisoners’ Protection Association condemns the punitive measures imposed by the Moroccan authorities, holds them responsible for the prisoners’ safety, and calls on the international community to urgently find a solution to ensure their rights and uphold UN resolutions.
