Human rights organizations have launched an urgent appeal to save the life of Naama Asfari, a Sahrawi political prisoner currently on hunger strike in a Moroccan prison. Asfari, a prominent activist for Western Sahara independence, has been detained since 2019 and faces deteriorating health conditions.
According to reports from Amnesty International and other groups, Asfari's hunger strike began in protest of his prolonged detention without trial and alleged mistreatment. The Moroccan authorities have not commented on his condition, but activists claim he is at risk of death if medical intervention is not provided.
The case has drawn international attention, with the United Nations and European Union calling for his immediate release or fair trial. Asfari's family has appealed to the international community to pressure Morocco to ensure his safety and respect his rights.
As of July 2026, no official update has been released on Asfari's health status, but the campaign continues to gain momentum online and through diplomatic channels.
