Moroccan authorities arrested Saharawi activist Mustapha Dihani on 21 October 2025 on bogus terrorism charges and detained him in Salé 2 prison. Guards beat him in prison, and he was denied access to adequate health care. Prison authorities have held him in prolonged solitary confinement, since he was first detained. His next trial hearing is scheduled for 15 October 2026. Moroccan authorities must immediately release Mustapha Dihani, investigate allegations of ill-treatment in detention, including to obtain forced confessions while in police custody, and end his solitary confinement pending his release.
