Ugandan Urges Global Action for Sahrawi Prisoners
The Ugandan Solidarity Movement calls for urgent international action to protect Sahrawi political prisoners in Moroccan prisons, especially those detained following the events of "Gdeim Izik," who have been on hunger strike since September 23rd to demand their basic rights, including access to healthcare and humanitarian services. Their health conditions have significantly deteriorated, prompting the statement to urge the international community, particularly the Security Council and the United Nations, to take measures to ensure the protection of prisoners' rights and adherence to humane treatment standards. The movement also emphasizes the importance of the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination. This stance is part of a broader international campaign of solidarity with the prisoners, following previous appeals from African and Arab organizations to address human rights violations in Western Sahara, and calls for the implementation of United Nations recommendations and a review of the future of the MINURSO mission in the region in 2026.
