Global Condemnation of Sahrawi Protest Suppression

Human rights organizations in Western Sahara condemned the campaigns of repression and brutality carried out against peaceful protesters, including the families of Sahrawi prisoners on hunger strike, during a demonstration in front of the Prison Administration Delegation in Rabat. The statement pointed to the Moroccan security forces' use of violence and the arrest of human rights defenders and students, raising concerns about the respect for basic rights and freedoms in Western Sahara, which remains under decolonization. The organizations called for an independent investigation into these violations, and urged the international community and the United Nations to monitor the situation of Sahrawi political prisoners, their conditions of detention, and to protect their right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. They also emphasized the need to uncover the fate of the detainees and to secure their immediate release, holding the Moroccan authorities responsible for their safety.
