Last update: 6 hours agoPrisoner Rights Crisis: International and Sahrawi human rights groups are escalating pressure over Sahrawi political prisoner Naâma Asfari, now in his second month of an open-ended hunger strike in Kenitra, with calls for urgent German and UN intervention, independent medical care, an end to solitary confinement, and implementation of UN Working Group recommendations. Family Protest in Rabat: Families of the Gdeim Izik prisoners staged a protest in Rabat, blaming Moroccan authorities for alleged torture, forced starvation, and denial of fair-trial guarantees, and warning the situation could amount to crimes under the Rome Statute. Solidarity Hunger Strike: The Gdeim Izik group announced a two-day warning hunger strike in Moroccan prisons in solidarity with Asfari, framing it as a fight to save his life. Diplomatic Outreach: The Sahrawi Movement for Peace (MSP) says it is gaining international access, including a meeting with US UN envoy Mike Waltz, as it pushes a negotiated, pluralist political approach. Western Sahara on the International Agenda: Chile backed Morocco’s Autonomy Plan, while Sweden’s opposition pledged to restore an international-law-based policy after elections. Cultural Boycott Fight: FiSahara and other voices renewed calls to boycott Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” over scenes filmed in occupied Dakhla, arguing it normalizes Morocco’s control. Regional Support Moves: Committees and political parties abroad—such as a new “Barbados with Western Sahara” group and Italian lawmakers—continued to mobilize solidarity and demand action on prisoners.
