Madrid (Spain), 15 March 2025 (SPS) – The Polisario Front representative in Spain, Mr. Abdullah Al-Arabi, stated that the Moroccan occupation authorities' prevention of an international human rights delegation from entering occupied El Aaiún constitutes a blatant and flagrant violation of international laws. 

In a statement issued by the Polisario Front representation in Spain, the Sahrawi diplomat emphasized that the actions taken by the Moroccan occupation authorities represent a gross and blatant violation of human rights and a serious transgression that confirms the crimes of the Moroccan occupation, not only against the Sahrawi people but also against foreign observers. 

The statement condemned the prevention of the delegation from the International Association of Lawyers for Western Sahara, which sought to assess the human rights situation in the occupied territories of Western Sahara, from entering occupied El Aaiún. 

The statement added that Morocco systematically blocks human rights defenders, journalists, activists, and political representatives from entering Western Sahara in an attempt to conceal the human rights violations faced by Sahrawi civilians. 

The statement highlighted that the expulsion is a clear example of Morocco's pervasive sense of impunity, urging all institutions in Spain and the European Union to formally lodge complaints with Morocco regarding this type of behavior.
