The Union of Sahrawi Journalists and Writers condemned the new attack on the media correspondent of the national radio and television from El-Ayoun during the first days of the blessed month of Ramadan, stressing that the repetition of scenes of violence against Sahrawi activists and media professionals shows the seriousness of the disturbing human rights situation in the occupied Sahrawi territories.

In her testimony, the journalist said, “As soon as they saw me on the street where I live, they called me a separatist. I would then respond by chanting patriotic slogans, including long live the Polisario.”
