Sahrawi Civilian Prisoner Protests Degrading Conditions
On April 13, 2026, a Sahrawi civilian prisoner, Sidi Abdallah Abbahah, who is a member of the Gdeim Izik group, has commenced a 48-hour warning hunger strike at the Tiflet 2 local prison in Morocco. This action, taking place on Monday and Tuesday, is a significant form of protest aimed at drawing attention to the inhumane treatment that he has been subjected to while incarcerated. Abbahah's grievances include not only the degrading conditions within the prison but also the alarming silence from the prison administration regarding repeated assaults he has faced from common-law inmates. Furthermore, he expresses frustration over his lack of access to justice, which compounds his already dire situation.
Through this hunger strike, Abbahah seeks to highlight the catastrophic detention conditions that he endures daily. Despite his family's persistent efforts to bring attention to his plight through numerous complaints, the situation remains dire. The hunger strike serves as a desperate plea for recognition and change, as Abbahah's family reiterates their call to all relevant international organizations dedicated to human rights and the protection of political prisoners. They urge these entities to intervene and ensure that he receives the necessary protection within the prison environment, emphasizing the risks that such a hunger strike poses to his physical and psychological well-being.
