Shaheed El Hafid, July 3, 2025 (SPS) – The National Mechanism for Coordinating Human Rights Action has expressed its condemnation of the punitive retaliation targeting Sahrawi students at the Agadir university campus.

During an emergency meeting held to assess the human rights situation, the Mechanism pointed out that the targeting of Sahrawi students at the Agadir university campus lacks the minimum respect for basic freedoms and student rights within the academic space, which should be a platform for free expression—not a scene of repression, persecution, and discriminatory practices.

The Mechanism emphasized that the ongoing violations against Sahrawi students reflect a systematic policy of racial discrimination and repression, contrary to the principles of academic freedom and human dignity.

It called on international human rights organizations and relevant bodies to intervene to protect Sahrawi students from these oppressive measures.
