Concerns Rise Over Sahrawi Prisoner’s Health
The Sahrawi League for the Protection of Sahrawi Prisoners in Moroccan Prisons has expressed profound alarm regarding the declining health of Naama Asfari, a Sahrawi civilian currently engaged in a hunger strike. This critical protest stems from Asfari's unwavering commitment to achieving essential demands not only for himself but also for his fellow Sahrawi inmates languishing in Moroccan facilities. Reports from Asfari's family indicate that he is resolute in his stance, refusing to accept any proposals that merely serve to postpone meaningful action without yielding palpable results.
Condemnation of Moroccan Occupation Policies
The association has vehemently criticized the Moroccan government's approach, which it describes as a blatant disregard for the legitimate rights of Sahrawi prisoners. The group argues that this neglect extends to the most fundamental human and legal rights, exacerbating the plight of those incarcerated. The health of the hunger-striking prisoner is a matter of grave concern, prompting the association to issue a call for immediate intervention and effective pressure to be exerted on Moroccan authorities. It advocates for a prompt response to the prisoners' demands, an end to policies that foster deprivation and medical neglect, and adherence to pertinent international resolutions.
Notably, the association highlighted the 2023 opinion from the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, which urged the immediate release of the Gdeim Izik Group as well as all Sahrawi detainees who are being held arbitrarily. This call for action underscores the urgent need for international attention and intervention in the situation of Sahrawi prisoners.
