Claude Mangin, wife of Naama Asfari, a Saharawi political prisoner sentenced to 30 years and currently detained in Kenitra, has been on hunger strike since last week to demand the right to visit her husband, which has been denied since October 2016.
French activist Claude Mangin-Asfari has said that her greatest desire is "to return to Morocco to see my husband Naama Asfari, a Saharawi political prisoner, sentenced to 30 years in prison after being tried, twice, unfairly along with other comrades for its peaceful struggle for the independence of Western Sahara, occupied by Morocco for more than 40 years.
The Saharawi prisoner received the Human Rights Award granted by the ACAT Foundation for Human Dignity in January of this year, and, in addition, the UN Committee against Torture, in Geneva, condemned Morocco for the torture exerted on Naama Asfari in December 2016. Despite this international pressure, since October 2016, Claude Mangin is not authorized to enter Morocco.
After her fourth expulsion from Marrucecos, the French citizen decided to go on indefinite hunger strike last week in the French city of Ivry-sur-Seine, the city where she lives, and who appointed Naama Asfari Honorary Citizen 3 consecutive years.
With his gesture, he intends to appeal not only to international bodies such as the United Nations and the European Union;
also to the French Government.
Institutions all of which have not yet obtained any result respecting their legitimate right to visit their husband in Morocco
The representative in Lorca of the Association of Friends of the Saharawi People, Antonio García Ros, has expressed his solidarity and that of the group he represents with the political prisoner, with his wife and for the cause of the freedom of the Saharawi people in the peaceful struggle for independence.
