The case of the two young Sahrawis burned alive by Algerian soldiers in Tindouf last October was once again raised at the 46th session of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC), illustrating the atrocities and abuses committed in the polisario-run camps.
Speaking under item 5 of the general debate of this session, Sahrawi activist Naji Moulay Lahsen recalled that “the two Sahrawis from the Tindouf camps named Moha Ould Hamdi Ould Suelem and Ali Idrissi were burned alive and in cold-blood in a pit by members of an Algerian military patrol using blankets soaked in gasoline.”
The events occurred when Sahrawi illegal gold miners, living in the Tindouf camps, were surprised in the afternoon of October 19, 2020 by an Algerian armed patrol near a camp located in the south of the Algerian town of Uinet Bellakraa. Their companions managed to escape, but unfortunately the two victims were trapped in the gold trench, he said.
Naji Moulay Lahsen called on the HRC to pay more attention to the real situation in the Tindouf camps in Algeria where human rights are systematically violated and freedoms are repressed and denied.
Several activists and human rights organizations took the opportunity at the 46th session of the HRC to denounce the serious violations committed by the polisario militias, with the complicity of the Algerian authorities, against the Sahrawi population in the Tindouf camps.
Speakers pointed out particularly the responsibility of Algeria in these abuses perpetrated by the polisario in these camps located on its territory.
