President Ghali calls on the UN to intervene

Sahrawi President Brahim Ghali called on the United Nations to urgent intervention to end the suffering of Sahrawi prisoners detained in Moroccan prisons and to intercede with Rabat to guarantee their immediate and unconditional release in the face of the serious spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. “With deep concern, I am writing to inform you that information from the occupied Sahrawi areas indicates that the Corona virus (Covid-19) has spread significantly in these areas which have been free of epidemic until recently, “said Mr. Ghali in a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, Thursday, noting that” more than two hundred infections have been recorded in the occupied city of El-Ayoun and its surroundings. the last days”. And to add: “We hold the Moroccan occupying state fully responsible for the life of the Saharawi civilian prisoners in its prisons, and we ask you again to intervene urgently to put an end to the suffering of the Saharawi civilian prisoners and of their families and ensure their immediate release so that they can reach their homeland and reunite them with their families and loved ones. ”
President Ghali, secretary general of the Polisario Front, indicated that “this serious humanitarian situation is the direct consequence of the contempt of the Moroccan occupation authorities for the life of trapped Saharawi civilians”, stressing that the occupation authorities “allow to a large number of people, including those infected with the virus, to enter the occupied Sahrawi areas without being subject to quarantine and other precautionary measures ”. “While the Moroccan authorities continue to use the restrictions linked to the spread of the epidemic around the world to tighten the blockade imposed on the occupied Sahrawi territories in order to continue to intimidate Saharawi civilians”, he denounced, explaining that “they are now bringing hundreds of Moroccan workers and settlers to the occupied cities to cause a new infection. And endanger the lives of our fellow citizens. ” The Saharawi Head of State maintained that “such a criminal act which targets the life of our fellow citizens in the occupied territories is added to the toll of the genocide and the killings carried out by the Moroccan occupation authorities against Saharawi civilians without defense since the beginning of the Moroccan occupation of the region on October 31, 1975 “. As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to spread around the world, including in Morocco, Mr. Ghali expressed concern about “the situation of Saharawi civilian prisoners in Moroccan prisons which is still alarming due to the conditions disastrous in these jails, “concluded Mr. Ghali.
