Italian Press Slams Algeria over Rights Abuses in Tindouf camps

Several Italian news outlets have slammed Algeria over its direct responsibility in the human rights violations by the Polisario separatists in the Tindouf camps.

The Italian website Comunicatistampa highlighted the case of the activist and opponent of the polisario leadership, El Fadel Breica, who was kidnapped and tortured in the jails of the separatists on the Algerian territory, noting that “the only mistake” of Breica at the time of his detention by the Polisario militia when he left a dispensary “was to have created a movement based in Spain for the promotion of pluralism in the Tindouf camps where international organizations are prohibited, according to the testimony of several MEPs.

For its part, the Italian site “Notizienazionali” reported that “the arrest and detention of the opponent of the polisario leadership, El Fadel Breica, have no legal basis and are arbitrary.

The site “Italiatelegraph” pointed to the responsibility of Algeria in the mass violations of human rights by asserting that “Algeria is held responsible as long as El Fadel Breica remains in Tindouf, on the Algerian territory and therefore under the territorial jurisdiction of Algeria.

For the Italian site “Notizie Geopolitiche”, Algeria’s condemnation by the United Nations has opened the way for hundreds of human rights victims determined to take legal action against the polisario and the Algerian government.
