The Moroccan government has been raising its continuous activities against human rights activist and against the Sahrawi students. The Moroccan authorities are still making arbitrary arrests and are still detaining hundreds of Sahrawis prisoners and political detainees in regular and secret prisons. Along with this, Moroccans refuse to set free all these prisoners and at the same, they declare that refuse to answer the UN's resolution and the human rights appeals. Therefore, it is very important to stress the fact that this arrogance and this continuous repressions we will be pushed to react, and it is very likely that the Moroccan government will not be happy with this popular reaction that will lead to unexpected results, and than the Moroccan government will be hold responsible for any reaction from our side.

After my kidnapping, and my arrest, I was put in jail in the black prison in Laayoune; I declared a hunger strike in the year 2001, along with one hundred Sahrawi prisoners. After a while they deported me to the horrible central prison in Kenitra after being a guest at many other prisons along the road; and this was just to demonstrate their vengeance for who I am. Now, I am imprisoned with famous horrible criminals in a small cell which lacks every simple human living condition. This prison cell is 4 m by 3.5m. Stinky smells from the toilet is our every minute in cense. It is crowded in here, and there is no air ventilation at all, beside that I also forget to mention that harmful and contagious illnesses such as Asthma and fungus are regular guests here.

But still there is some thing more awful to be mentioned than all that, it is about the food we eat, well, it is only like some stories you hear or read about but in fact you will never imagined that they exist. We get only one loaf of bread and a cup of coffee or tea and a little bit of lentil beans as the one and only daily meal. But still we do have a big feast once a week which contains a small piece of meat or a slim leg of a chicken and a kind of a healthy salad which is made from lettuce mixed with plain water. This is really a big feast for someone who is denied even the least important thing upon which every life stands a normal meal.

In this prison there is a small hospital, constituted of three rooms, and which opens only during occasion or as a response to an official visit from government officials from the so called the department of justice or the bureau of prisons, which has been nominated as the Mecca of bribery and corruption. A visit to a prisoner is a fertile market for guards and responsible to get them richer and more authoritarians, but at the same it is a non-negotiable thing for Sahrawis who are deprived from any kind of visits many brothers in arms were prevented visiting me and especially Sidi Mohamed, Brahim Bouna.

I also not allowed having my right to see a doctor and much worse than that is that I am a target of discrimination and insults from the day I was kidnapped. And because of all these reasons and terrible facts, I, Lakhfaouni Abdallahi, declare that I am on a hunger strike for 72 hours starting on 9 January 2004 till 11 January 2004. It is a strike to recall the respect for human rights and to condemn the poor condition we live in as the Sahrawis political prisoners in these inhumane prisons. I also declare that I am ready for any legal struggle to be set free and to gain freedom for all my fellow men who are detained in all Moroccan prisons, and I am also willing to take part in the search of the disappeared Sahrawis.

My final appeal is to the associations and the organizations which advocate human rights. My words shall be marked that every oppressive regime has got an end.

ABDALLAHI LAKHFAOUNI.
