In a troubling development from Boujdour, the Moroccan authorities have instituted a stringent security blockade around the residence of Abdelmoula Mohamed El Hafed, a Sahrawi civilian who has recently regained his freedom after serving time as a political prisoner. This information has been corroborated by local human rights advocates who have observed a significant and alarming presence of Moroccan security forces around the family home.
Reports indicate that the streets leading to El Hafed's home are heavily monitored, with an extensive deployment of both vehicles and personnel from various branches of the Moroccan security apparatus. This overwhelming display of force is intended to foster an environment of fear and intimidation, not only for the family of the released prisoner but also for the broader Sahrawi community. Such actions blatantly undermine the fundamental rights and freedoms that should be afforded to all individuals, particularly in moments of celebration and family reunion.
In light of these events, the Sahrawi League for the Defense of Human Rights and Protection of Natural Resources has vocalized its unwavering support for El Hafed's family. The organization has condemned the oppressive measures imposed by the Moroccan state, emphasizing its responsibility for ensuring the safety and well-being of the family. They have expressed deep concern regarding the potential risks that could affect not only the family but also any of the Sahrawi citizens who might wish to visit and celebrate the release of Abdelmoula Mohamed El Hafed.
