Sahrawi Civil Society Mobilizes for International March Supporting Political Prisoners

Sahrawi civil society organized a powerful solidarity stand in support of Sahrawi political prisoners held in Moroccan jails. Representatives from mass organizations, human rights associations, and humanitarian groups announced their participation in the upcoming international solidarity march aimed at drawing attention to the plight of these prisoners. The march seeks to expose the serious violations endured by Sahrawi detainees and demands their immediate and unconditional release, along with justice for victims of torture and arbitrary detention.

In a statement concluding the solidarity stand, Sahrawi civil society members reaffirmed their steadfast support for the prisoners and their families—particularly the Gdeim Izik group and detained students—who continue to suffer under harsh and inhumane conditions. Participants strongly condemned the use of torture, the staging of unfair trials, and the appalling prison conditions that violate both basic detention standards and key international conventions, including the Fourth Geneva Convention and the Convention Against Torture.

The statement also issued a humanitarian appeal to freedom-loving people worldwide to join the international campaign for Sahrawi political prisoners. It called for intensified efforts to break the wall of silence surrounding their suffering, to amplify their voices in international forums, and to pressure governments to end financial and military support for the Moroccan occupation. Sahrawi civil society concluded by declaring that their struggle would persist until the liberation of all political prisoners, the end of the Moroccan occupation, and the full independence of the Sahrawi Republic.
