Press release
At around 4 a.m. on Monday, November 8, 2021,
elements of the Moroccan occupation forces again raided the home of Sid Brahim
Jaya's family in the occupied city of Bojador (Sahrawi Republic). The
assailants used the usual modus operandi of physical and mental assault,
destroying the family's property and personal effects. They poured a foul
liquid of unknown origin on the floor and walls of the house. They also
injected human rights defender Sultana Sid Brahim Jaya with a substance unknown
both in terms of product and consequences.
The Moroccan expansionist regime has carefully
chosen the moment, coinciding with the National Day of the Saharawi Civilian
Prisoner as well as the timing of the violent dismantling of the Gdeim Izik
camp on November 8, 2020.
Today, at midday, Sultana Sid Brahim Jaya
started having fever, headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. Her condition
continues to deteriorate at the time of writing this Press Release and we are
fears for her life
The Association of Families of Prisoners and
Disappeared Sahrawis (AFAPREDESA) fears that this is a new assassination
attempt or medical experiment with the aim of silencing the human rights
defender.
Recall that since November 19, 2020, the family
of Sid Brahim Jaya has been living under a siege unprecedented in the
contemporary history of humanity. The sordid mission is carried out by
unscrupulous men, sent on direct orders from a worthy monarch of the kingdoms
of darkness. It is strangely reminiscent of the threats launched by Hassan II
against any Moroccan who meets a Palestinian. It was April 24, 1987, after the historic
meeting between Saharawi President Mohamed Abdelaziz and his Palestinian
counterpart Yaser Arafat in Algiers. In his televised address that day, Hassan
II did not skimp on his words: "Anyone who meets a Palestinian, his house
will be tainted with what is not said, as my ancestors did." Mohammed VI
carries out these threats against two Sahrawi sisters and human rights
defenders, Sultana and Luaara, and their mother, Minatu Emboiric, 84, as well
as other members of Sid Brahim Khaia's family.
Faced with the gravity of the facts, AFAPREDESA
launches an urgent appeal to national opinion, to the movement of solidarity
with Saharawi people, to the international community, in particular to the
United Nations (including its organs such as the General Assembly, the Security
Council, the Human Rights Council, the Office of the High Commissioner for
Human Rights, the Decolonization Committee, the UN Secretary General ...), the
African Union and its organs such as the AU Commission, the African Commission
on Human and Peoples' Rights and the Pan-African Parliament, the European Union
and its organs such as the EU Commission and the European Parliament, to the
governments of States concerned, in particular Spain, de jure administering
power and the United States of America, holder of the pen in the Security
Council on the question of Western Sahara, France, as a major actor in the
region , along with the rest of the members of the Security Council, Conf Swiss
government, depositary of the Geneva Convention and the International Committee
of the Red Cross in order to act quickly to:
• The dispatch of
a neutral and independent medical commission to examine and provide the
physical and psychological care necessary for the state of health of Sultana
Sid Brahim and members of her family.
• Urgent
intervention to protect Sultana Sid Brahim Jaya and her family members from
future attacks.
• The immediate
lifting of the state of siege and house arrest, imposed de facto, from November
19, 2021, against Sultana Sid Brahim Jaya and members of her family.
• The opening of
a thorough, independent, transparent and impartial investigation into the
serious human rights violations and war crimes perpetrated by the Moroccan
colonial forces against Sultana Sid Brahim Jaya and members of her family,
since November 19, 2021.
