El Aaiun (Occupied Territories), May 4, 2026 (SPS) – The Sahrawi Prisoners Protection League in Moroccan prisons has expressed its strong denunciation and absolute condemnation of a new crime committed by the Moroccan occupation authorities against the recently released Sahrawi prisoner, Abdelmoula El Hafidi.
The League stated that a force of Moroccan occupation personnel, traveling in official vehicles, carried out the abduction of the released civilian prisoner Abdelmoula El Hafidi on Monday morning, in the Agrifiya area (south of the occupied city of Boujdour). He had only recently been released from Safi prison in Morocco.
According to documented information, the occupation forces took the released prisoner to an unknown location without providing any legal justification, in blatant violation of all international laws and norms.
Hours after the abduction, the League added, Abdelmoula El Hafidi managed to contact his family, informing them that he had been abandoned in a remote and deserted area approximately 175 km from the city of Boujdour, placing his life in serious danger.
The League reaffirmed that such successive criminal practices—including abduction, torture, and forced displacement—constitute yet another episode in the systematic pattern of crimes committed by the Moroccan occupation against the defenseless Sahrawi people.
Based on the above, the League called for the establishment of a neutral and independent international mechanism to oversee the monitoring of human rights conditions in Western Sahara, document violations and crimes committed against Sahrawi civilians, and submit regular and transparent reports to both the UN Security Council and the UN Human Rights Council.
