Need for UN Human Rights Monitoring Mechanisms in Western Sahara

SALE (MOROCCO)- The Saharawi political prisoners, "Gdeim Izik" group, jailed in the Moroccan prison of Salé, stressed Tuesday that MINURSO is the only UN mission which does not have a mechanism of human rights monitoring.


These prisoners, cited by the Sahrawi news agency (SPS) recalled "the incessant calls from international human rights defending organizations and the UN Secretary General’s call in his latest report for the implementation of a UN mechanism to monitor human rights in Western Sahara."

They expressed the "full and complete compliance with national and international campaigns for the protection of human rights in Western Sahara", calling on all Sahrawi people to spare no effort to ensure the success of these campaigns initiated by coordination of human rights defending organizations in Western Sahara."

In addition, Moroccan policemen brutally tortured on Sunday Saharawi citizen, Lala Lhatra Aram before setting her house on fire, the same source reported.
