Chile’s Foundation for Human Rights Without Borders (DHSF) decried the ongoing serious human rights violations committed by the Algeria-backed Polisario Front in the Tindouf camps, in southwestern Algeria.
DHSF depicted the separatist group as a destabilizing force across the North African region, according to a press release obtained by the MAP.
The NGO underscored that a significant fraction of the Polisario leadership is under investigation by international courts for grave human rights violations.
The organization condemned the paramilitary group’s detention of Sahrawis in inhumane conditions within camps in Algeria.
The same source highlighted that over the past two years, the DHSF foundation has closely monitored the activities of the Polisario Front.
The DHSF claimed to have extensively documented, with evidence and numerous testimonies, the severe human rights violations discussed during the second international meeting of human rights defenders held from April 18 to 20 in Santiago.
The NGO indicated that these violations, including disappearances or arbitrary detention of Sahrawis, and the recruitment and use of children in armed conflicts, have been brought to international justice.
The Chilean Foundation urged for the immediate release of all political detainees held by the Separatists in the Algerian territory and emphasized the need to disclose the fate of hundreds of missing persons and to hold accountable those responsible for the rape of Sahrawi women.
The same organization stressed the importance of Morocco’s proposed autonomy plan for the southern territories, widely supported by the majority of countries worldwide. This plan provides Sahrawis with political, economic, administrative, and judicial autonomy.
The DHSF highlighted that Algeria has evolved into a repressive military-controlled regime, straying from its initial aim of consolidating independence. It concluded the statement by noting that Algeria’s national liberation has been deteriorating, resembling military dictatorships prevalent in Latin America.
