Occupied El Aaiún, January 28, 2025 (SPS) – The family of Sahrawi political prisoner Abdalahi Luali Lekhfauni, a member of the Agdim Izik Group who is confined in the central prison of Kenitra, north of the Moroccan capital, Rabat, informed the Association for the Protection of Sahrawi Prisoners in Moroccan Prisons that “the doctor at the Kenitra prison clinic had threatened their son by denying him the right to medical treatment.
In this regard, the so-called Sawi Mohamed, doctor of the central prison of Kenitra, threatened the Sahrawi political prisoner Abdalahi Luali Lekhfauni on January 21, 2025, with isolation in a mental health facility after he demanded adequate medical care as part of his legitimate right to treatment.
The family of the Sahrawi political prisoner added that “the aforementioned Sawi Mohamed had deliberately excluded their son from the list of medical cases requiring transfer to the hospital for necessary medical examinations, in addition to confiscating many of the sedative medications he was taking, noting that Abdalahi Lakhfaouni had received no medical attention throughout 2024, despite the pain he suffers in his right knee.”
Consequently, the family of the Sahrawi political prisoner reported that “the General Delegation for the Administration of Prisons of Morocco is directly responsible for the psychological and physical safety of their son who is obliged to provide him with the necessary protection against all threats and provocations he faces within the prison, in accordance with the decision issued by the UN Special Rapporteur on Arbitrary Detention, aimed at ensuring the protection of the Agdim Izik Group against all forms of attacks within Moroccan prisons.”
