Mauritanian organization exposes the reality of repression and human rights ignorance in Tindouf

In the midst of the international silence and ignorance of various systematic human rights violations and the fragile humanitarian conditions witnessed in the Tindouf camps, which is run by the Polisario Front with a mandate from Algeria, the “Al -Wehda Network for the Development of Mauritania” condemned the continued suffering of the residents of what is called “pride and dignity camps”, which are governed by the current leaders of the separatist front with an iron grip.

Mustafa water Al -Ain, the aforementioned representative of the organization, during a session on the sidelines of the works of the fifty -eighth session of the United Nations Human Rights Council held in Geneva, shed light on the reality of daily suffering that has become the fate of thousands of “deserts”, and the systematic control imposed by the Polisario on them, especially with regard to the confiscation of freedoms and establishment of a dictatorial climate based on fear and smuggling.

In his intervention, the human rights actor stressed that “activists defending human rights and civilian actors inside the camps live under permanent observation, are not limited to suppressing the voices opposing the prevailing opinion, but also prevents any attempt to investigate or reveal the reality of embezzlement of humanitarian aid directed at refugees in the camps.”

The spokesman pointed to the involvement of leaders in the separatist front in transforming the course of this humanitarian aid for their own benefit outside any legal frameworks, in addition to violating the most basic rights of the camp residents, within the framework of a systematic policy aimed at keeping them under the state of poverty and constantly dependent on external aid.

The representative of the “Unity for the Development of Mauritania” was condemned the dangers facing human rights voices from within the camps, considering that “these practices violate international human rights standards, especially with regard to the confidentiality of communications, as activists and journalists inside the camps are especially at risk, their digital connections are not protected, which makes them an immediate goal of revenge.”

The same organization called on the international community to “ensure the right to privacy for the residents of the Tindouf camps, and to protect the defenders of basic rights,” stressing that “the time has come to end this fabricated conflict, so that refugees can finally return to their homes with dignity and safety.”

A set of reports and certificates that came from a number of victims of the Polisario violations monitored a dark human rights reality inside the Tindouf camps, where human rights are under the sun of the incendiary desert, in full view of the Algerian authorities who called on a number of organizations to pressure them in order to assume their legal and moral responsibility in this situation.
