The United Nations Committee Against Torture has found Morocco in violation of the Convention against Torture in the case of Sahrawi human rights defender and former political prisoner Abdelmoula El Hafidi, citing the conditions of his detention in Ait Melloul Prison as amounting to “degrading treatment.”
The finding was set out in a decision adopted by the Committee on 24 April, during its 84th session, and published on Monday, 17 August. It concerns a complaint submitted by El Hafidi, represented by the International Service for Human Rights (ISHR), regarding his detention conditions and the violations he allegedly suffered following his arrest in 2016 in Boujdour, in the occupied Western Sahara territories.
