LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR RELEASE SAHARAN POLITICAL PRISONERS
I am following with utmost concern the degrading situation of human rights that the people living under Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara as a result of the repressive system in place in the territory of Western Sahara through the deployment of multiple units to abuse, kidnapping and torturing peaceful demonstrators Sahrawis, as the persecution and harassment of human rights defenders, preventing the exercise of their fundamental rights and free expression of their legitimate rights to self-determination.
I am also concerned about the alarming situation experienced by dozens of Sahrawi political prisoners in the prisons of El Ayoun, Ait Meloul, Tiznit, Inzegan, Taroudanet, Salé and Kenitra. These prisoners were tortured, interrogated, subjected to unfair trials and sentenced for illegally, have been internationally recognized as prisoners of conscience.
Faced with this grave situation of abuse and violations of their fundamental rights contrary to international conventions and international humanitarian law, requires:
The immediate and unconditional release of ALL SAHARAN POLITICAL PRISONERS.
