Polisario Front Launches Online Campaign Against Morocco Over Sahrawi Rights

Conceal a series of human rights violations in the Tindouf camps. This is the objective currently pursued by the Polisario Front. To achieve this, it has launched an online war against Morocco and its media, in order to challenge the information condemning the inhuman situation suffered by the Sahrawis in the Tindouf camps in Algeria.

The separatists had launched the online campaign to defend their cause, said Futuro Sahara, the pro-Polisario newspaper. In charge, members of the group who identify themselves as an "electronic army". Their main task is to share "photos, videos and documents" in order to control and counterbalance Morocco’s rhetoric on the conflict.

Futuro Sahara recently published a series of articles on the struggle of Sahrawi families due to the arbitrary arrest of their relatives, reports moroccoworldnews.com.

Already in June, the Polisario Front had launched a repression campaign against demonstrations aimed at condemning the violations committed in the camps. The next step was the arrest of Moulay Aba Bouzid, Fadel Braka and Mahmoud Zidane. They are still in detention without trial.

In the wake of this, Human Rights Watch and the Peruvian Council of Solidarity with the Sahrawi people condemned the arrest of the activists, who have been in detention since June. According to the Council, the three Sahrawis are subject to harassment and intimidation.

The three activists have been "unjustly accused of alleged criminal acts and treason". These charges could lead to severe sentences, including the death penalty.
