On July 24, 2026, the Sahrawi Prisoners Protection League (LPPS) expressed profound relief following the announcement that activist Naama Asfari had suspended his hunger strike. This development has been hailed as a "new victory for the Sahrawi cause," and the organization has pledged to continue exerting pressure on the Moroccan prison administration. The LPPS has also acknowledged the international support received, which has been instrumental in ensuring the physical integrity of the inmate, whose health had significantly deteriorated during the strike.
In their statement, the LPPS commended the resilience of political prisoners and the widespread public solidarity that has emerged around this issue. They emphasized that this moment serves as further proof that rights are fought for through will, struggle, and solidarity. The LPPS attributed the Moroccan authorities' decision to open negotiations to the "qualitative and massive pressure" exerted by human rights organizations on both national and international levels.
While celebrating this positive development, the LPPS has warned that it will remain vigilant against any potential "setbacks or failures" by the Moroccan prison administration in fulfilling its commitments to the Sahrawi activist. This vigilance is crucial as the situation remains fluid and the rights of prisoners continue to be a focal point of advocacy efforts by various organizations.
