19.02.2025 - Sahrawi Committee for Human Rights condemns the systematic repression of Sahrawi political prisoners by the Moroccan occupation

The Sahrawi National Committee for Human Rights has expressed its condemnation of the arbitrary measures imposed by the Moroccan occupation authorities on Sahrawi political prisoners. 

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the committee strongly condemned the series of arbitrary measures applied by the occupying state’s prison administration against Sahrawi political prisoners since their arbitrary detention, in an attempt to “break their will and strip them of their humanity.” 

The statement clarified that “these measures include preventing family members from visiting them, obstructing visits from lawyers, repeatedly transferring them between multiple prisons within Morocco to physically exhaust them, detaining them in unfit cells, and the unfair practices carried out by prison guards around the clock, such as repeated night searches, denial of medical treatment and communication, and more.” 

The statement expresses the Committee’s condemnation of the continued practices of the Moroccan occupying state, which employs “various forms of torture and degrading treatment against Sahrawi civilians under occupation, with the aim of deterring them from continuing their peaceful resistance. The Moroccan state uses violent and repressive methods that violate human dignity and are classified as crimes against humanity, such as arbitrary arrests, unfair political trials, forced displacement, systematic torture on a large scale, and ill-treatment of Sahrawi political prisoners and their families, who are subjected to degrading acts by Moroccan prison authorities.” 

The Sahrawi Human Rights Committee urged the international community to intervene “urgently” to prevent a further and “serious” deterioration of the human rights situation in the occupied territories of the Sahrawi Republic. It also warned of the consequences of the dangerous escalation of violence against Sahrawis who oppose the Moroccan occupation and its practices that violate all international norms and conventions.
