Half an hour later, the Sahrawi political prisoners, ELMOUSSAOUI Ahmed, DADI Hamada and CHOUBEIDA Laaroussi, were transferred urgently to the private clinic of the black prison after a degradation of their health. These prisoners refused to be neat by reaffirming that the only solution is to answer their legitimate claims.

In spite of the danger that these serious cases represent, the penitentiary direction maintains its blind position and refuses any dialogue with the strikers. This position means only the indifference of this direction and its unconcern in front of a painful human situation, and reaffirms its contempt and its resentment with regard to the political prisoners and Sahrawi human rights defenders.
