The Constitutional Court of Peru has dealt a new “blow” to the Polisario separatist front, by rejecting an appeal presented by the defense of the so-called Khadijatou El Mokhtar against the decision of the authorities of to expel and to ban her from entering the Peruvian territory, in September 2017, for diplomatic identity theft, wrote newspaper “La Razon”.

The daily added that the Court unanimously rejected the defense appeal, considering it to be unfounded, recalling that the so-called Khadijatou El Mokhtar had arrived at Lima international airport on September 9, 2017 and visited the country as a tourist between June 10 and August 18 of the same year.

She then engaged in a number of political activities, usurping the status of ambassador for the SADR puppet entity, with which Peru had suspended diplomatic relations in 1996.

Thus, the Spanish national had been deported on board a flight to Spain, in application of the immigration laws in force, which stipulate the return of foreigners banned from entering the Peruvian territory to the country of origin. 

With this final sentence, the highest court of the South American country “categorically rejected” the appeal presented by the defense of the separatist against her deportation and her banning from entering the Peruvian territory for violation of immigration laws in force, underlined the publication.

The Peruvian Interior Minister Carlos Basombrío had said that the so-called Khadijatou El Mokhtar “is not recognized and was not invited by the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs”.

Also, the immigration services indicated that the Peruvian authorities had not granted any diplomatic visa to the Spanish national who did not obtain any privilege or immunity as a representative of the Polisario in Lima, contrary to what she alleged.

In the same context, La Razon noted that, according to a statement from the Foreign Ministry, the Peruvian government has no plans to resume diplomatic relations with the fake republic.

The newspaper stressed that under the decision, the separatist was included in the list of people banned from entering the Peruvian territory, specifying that the measure must be adopted by other countries in the region to prevent elements of the separatist group, associated with terrorist groups, to infiltrate and usurp diplomatic identities as representatives of an imaginary country.
