 1. Introduction:
The Sahrawi Association Against Impunity in Tindouf Camps (ASIMCAT) is a non-
governmental organization that speaks for the families of victims of gross human rights
violations perpetrated by Frente Polisario in Tindouf refugee camps, south-west Algeria. We
take the initiative to report on Sahrawi victims of enforced disappearances in the secret
detention centers run by the Polisario, which witnessed crimes against tens of Sahrawi
civilians, who have gone missing, and are still unaccounted for. No measures have been taken,
to ensure thorough, impartial and effective investigations and the prosecution of all crimes
linked to the missing persons on the Algerian territory, consistent with Algeria’s obligations
under international law.
If the Polisario were working hard to kill the truth of what really happened in its secret detention
center, the families of the missing and the survivors, backed by previous initiatives led
international human rights organizations, are struggling under ASIMCAT for the truth to be be
revealed, and that the names of the disappeared, their whereabouts and dates of disappearance
be specified, and their remains be recovered by the families to hold a proper funeral.
Despite our continuous efforts to unveil the truth about the disappearance of the victims, the
Algerian authorities and Polisario leadership are still turning their back to our calls, and seem
to be unwilling to take any measures to determine the fate of persons reported missing in
Polisario’s detention centers on Algerian territory. They still refuse to provide any relevant
information that they have on the fate of the victims, including their whereabouts or, if they
are dead, the circumstances and cause of their death or the place of their burial.
In this regard, the families of the victims addressed a letter1 to the Polisario 15th Congress held
in December 2019, and to the Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, calling on them to
cooperate to alleviate the suffering of rights holders, and to prosecute and hold criminals
accountable for their actions. However, not only the leaders of the Polisario and the Algerian
authorities ignored these claims, but they launched a campaign of denigration and slander of
the families of the victims, by attacking, on social media, any person daring to inquire about
the fate of a close relative who disappeared in the Tindouf camps.
Many of the right-holders, while in the camps under the capture of Polisario, were unable to
take their voice to the outside world. However, and as hundreds of the inhabitants of the camps
rejoined the Western Sahara, and many of them made their way to Spain, they could take a
stand for their rights, and make their voice heard at the international level.
Campaigning for their right to know the fate of the victims, they have provided invaluable
information that enabled ASIMCAT to write the report at hand, and provide a preliminary list
of victims of enforced disappearances in Errachid Prison, with testimonies of survivors and
confessions of torturers about their involvement in these atrocious crimes against the Sahrawis
who dared to have a different opinion from that of the Polisario leaders..
2. Context:
When armed conflict broke out in the Western Sahara, the Polisario Front moved hundreds of
Sahrawis, some with their consent but others were deported forcibly, to the south-western part
of the Algerian territory. This massive displacement included men, women and children, who
were taken to refugee camps, set up near the Algerian city of Tindouf, following arrangements
with the Algerian government, and with a later involvement of the UNHCR. These camps

accommodated Sahrawis from different parts of the Western Sahara territory, north Mauritania,
Mali and Niger. The Algerian government ceded its responsibilities to the Polisario Front to
run everyday life inside the camps, and have the upper hand over the management and the
organization of the camps.
Since the inception of these camps and as the political and security ramifications of the Western
Sahara conflict have gone unexpectedly complicated, divergence and incompatibility of
opinion among the Polisario cadre surfaced, especially on the objectives of their political
enterprise, and over other issues, including their alliance with Kadhafi regime and the military
attacks on the uncontested parts of Morocco. New lines of thought emerged within the Polisario
leadership circle regarding the development of the war, as some members considered that there
were attempts to derail the Front from its pre-set objectives, making it a tool that serves broader
geopolitical agendas.
With the support of the Algerian army, the radical members of the Polisario leadership had
then started a purge among the Sahrawis in the camps suspected of harboring different ideas
from their own, as well as against the Mauritanians who joined the camps, in an attempt to
suffocate any dissent in the camps.
3. Enforced Disappearance in Tindouf Camps:
Enforced disappearance in Tindouf camps has been a systematic practice against any Sahrawi
refugee who shows views different or opposed to those propagated by the Polisario Front, and
silence and the premeditated erasure of traces seem to be the foundation of the impunity that
the perpetrators enjoy until now.
As illustrated in this report, the modus operandi of the Polisario leaders consisted in kidnapping
the Sahrawis suspected of having an opinion different from theirs, lock them up in secret
detention centers, where they undergo the worst forms of physical and psychological torture,
put them to death as depersonalized beings, and bury them anonymously in the hear of the
desert. The torturers were trying to commit these crimes with a dissuasive effect on any
potential endeavors from the families to seek justice, since the victims disappeared without
leaving a trace, and no information is given about their whereabouts or their fate.
ASIMCAT, after gathering testimonies from the survivors, from members of families of the
disappeared Sahrawis, and from torturers involved in these crimes, has succeeded in
establishing a list of 131 Sahrawi victims of enforced disappearances, aiming to introduce a
collective submission that speaks for all victims.
• Safia: the murder of a pregnant teenager
The Story of Safia was told by Zahra Ment Ahmed Leblalia, the last person to have seen her
before she disappeared.
Aged 12 years old, Safia was kidnapped with her father El Hassan Ould Sid Ahmed Kharbouch
in 1978, by the Polisario, from Lbeirat village, south Morocco. The kidnappers took Safia to
Rabouni camp, and her father was put to detention in Errachid prison, where he spent years
under torture, for having opted to stay in Morocco instead of joining the Tindouf camps. Safia,
who was living with Zahra Ment Ahmed Leblalia and her children in Rabouni, was raped by
Sidi Ahmed El Batal, one of the notorious torturers of Errachid and who currently holds the
position of Minister of Equipment at the Polisario.
Under the pretext of subjecting her to additional interrogations, El batal had Safia taken into
the countryside each time, where he raped her for several days until she became pregnant.
When the signs of pregnancy appeared on Safia, Sidi Ahmed El Batal murdered her, and buried
her body in an unknown location not far from the camps, and subsequently killed her father El
5
Hassan Kharbouch, who was still detained in the Errachid prison, to keep his crime without
traces.
• Lemaadla: Born without a father
Lemaadla opened her eyes to the world as a refugee in the camps, but without a father. When
she first inquired about the reasons for her father's permanent absence, her mother had no other
choice but to tell her a story forged by the Polisario leadership, claiming that her father Elkori
Mohamed Salem was a valiant warrior who had died at the front while fighting the Moroccan
enemy. They drew a fictional portrait of her father and as a "Chahid" (martyr) who sacrificed
his life for the Front. Her mother had no choice but to marry another man so that she could
raise her daughter.
However, after the Sahrawi mass uprising in the Tindouf camps in 1988, the Polisario leaders
were forced to release dozens of Sahrawis detained in Errachid prison. It was only when these
detainees were released that the camp population learned of the existence of the Errachid
detention center, where Polisario officials tortured and murdered, for more than 13 years,
hundreds of Sahrawis in secret, claiming that they had died or taken prisoner by Morocco on
the battlefield in the Sahara. Despite the terror in which the survivors of Errachid lived, one of
them confided to Lemaadla that her father Elkori Mohamed Salem was being held with him in
the prison of Errachid, and that he had died. under torture like several other Sahrawis.
It was at this moment that her family’s sense of pride of ‘a presumed martyr’ transformed into
a sense of impotence and deep grief. With their bereaved hearts, they were helpless, as they
could not speak out, in the face of the silence imposed by the Polisario leaders. Lemaadla and
her family found themselves unable to claim their right to know the truth about Elkori’s death,
or his whereabouts. They could not claim their right to recover the remains, and hold a dignified
funeral for their disappeared father, nor could they call for holding the perpetrators accountable
for their actions.
After having succeeded in leaving the camps to take refuge in Spain, Lemaadla freed herself
from the fear of physical reprisals from the Polisario leaders, to begin her activism with other
victims and right-holders, by creating the ASIMCAT whose objective is to shed light on what
happened and what is currently happening at the Errachid detention center, and struggle to
unveil the fate of hundreds of Saharawis missing in the Tindouf camps, hand over their remains
to their relatives, and prosecute of the perpetrators of these crimes.
• Mitchell: the confessions of a torturer
Abderrahman Bouh, aka ‘Mitchell’, was one of the torturers who publicly admitted to having
participated in and bore witness of the atrocities committed in the secret detention centers of
the Polisario. Bouh, living currently in Spain, safe from the repressive apparatus of the
Polisario, unexpectedly chose to speak to the victims, after fleeing the grip of the Polisario
leaders, and addressed an oral confession which he diffused on social media, seeking amnesty
from the victims.
Bouh pleaded guilty of the grave violations that were perpetrated in Errachid and elsewhere in
the Sahrawi refugee camps, and that he was among the persons who stood behind the torture
and the disappearance of many Sahrawis. He admitted "the involvement of the political
organization of the Polisario Front in all the crimes committed against Sahrawis in the Errachid

6
prison," asking for "forgiveness from the victims of what I consider to be acts of genocide
committed against the Sahrawis, for which I am responsible with other Polisario members"2.
The testimony of Abderrahman Bouh is of paramount importance in building for
accountability, since it establishes the full criminal responsibility of the perpetrators of crimes
committed against the Sahrawis in the Polisario secret detention centers. Worth mentioning
that Brahim Ghali, the current Polisario Secretary General, was summoned for investigations
by the judge of the Spanish National Court in 2016, following the complaint for crimes of
genocide, murder, torture and disappearances admitted for processing in November 2012 and
that was filed by Sahrawi victims against 28 members of the Polisario Front and senior officials
of the Algerian government, as was confirmed by RTVE, the state-owned Spanish Radio
Television Corporation3.
• Other cases of Enforced Disappearances:
The research carried out within the framework of this report revealed the large-scale practice
by Polisario leaders of enforced disappearance against Sahrawi refugees in the Tindouf camps,
in order to dissuade the inhabitants of the camps from undertaking any initiative to denounce
the grave human rights violation, in the camps, to repress any person daring to break the wall
of silence imposed on the inhabitants of the camps for years, and to ward off the unveiling of
the atrocities committed by the Polisario. The production of this report aims to help put an end
to these repressive practices aimed at hiding away the reality of the situation in the Tindouf
camps from the international community.
In this regard, ASIMCAT noted with deep concern the persistence, until today, of the practice
of enforced disappearance against the Sahrawis of the Tindouf camps and throughout the
Algerian territory, daring to express views different from those of the Polisario leadership, as
is bluntly demonstrated in the emblematic case of the Polisario cadre El Khalil Ahmed Breih,
who used to serve adviser to the former Polisario SG Mohamed Abdelaziz on human rights,
and disappeared under mysterious circumstances in 2009, after being kidnapped by the
Algerian security services in Algiers, where he went to give a lecture at the University.
In this context, Human Rights Watch reported that “El Bachir, Ahmed’s son...succeeded
through non-official contacts to gain access to a detention center associated with the Algiers
military court, where authorities allowed him to see and speak with his father. However,
Algerian authorities have at no time officially acknowledged having arrested Ahmed, nor
explained to his family the reason for his alleged detention4”. Tindouf camps have witnessed
protests that demand the unveiling of the fate of Khalil Ahmed Breih. However, and faced with
the silence of Polisario leaders and the Algerian authorities, members of El Khalil Ahmed
Breih's family are still calling for the intervention of the UN competent bodies with the
Algerian authorities in order to reveal the fate of their father.
More recently, in June 2019, the Polisario leaders resorted to the same practice of enforced
disappearance against 03 Saharawi opinion leaders, called El Fadel Breika, Mahmoud Zedan
and Moulay Abba Bouzeid, who were kidnapped between 17th and 19th June, 2019 at the

Tindouf camps, and were secretly detained in the prison of Errachid, for several days, during
which they suffered the worst forms of torture and degrading treatment, before being
transferred to another illegal detention center called Dhaibia, where they spent more than 04
months of detention, to then be released thanks to pressure from international human rights
organizations and other Saharawi human rights defenders operating in the territory of Western
Sahara.
During their detention, following their denunciation via social networks of the repression led
by the Polisario leadership in the Tindouf camps, and the diversion of humanitarian aid
intended for Sahrawi refugees, they noted the presence at the detention center of Dhaibia of
Malian nationals, some of whom used to work as cattle herders for some Polisario leaders, and
others worked for these leaders in the smuggling activities between the Tindouf camps and
northern Mali and Mauritania. The families of these Malian detainees held on Algerian territory
without trial, have never been notified of the arrest of their loved ones, and the detainees have
no means of contacting their families, nor of contacting the consular services of their country
in Algeria. Their case therefore falls under enforced disappearance.
4. Torture in detention centers in Tindouf Camps:
Torture in Errachid and in other secret detention centers was not occasional, but rather an
everyday systematic practice. Overwhelmed by an unbearable sense of dislocation in time and
place, the detainees were kept blindfolded, and nameless all the time. Instead, they were
labelled with numbers by which they were called by the prison staff (Dog number 1, Dog
number 2…etc), so that they don’t know each other. Their hands and feet were always tied
together inside the prison cells, which were small holes dug into the heart of the earth and
covered with a metal sheet (see the photo of a model of Errachid structure, annex 1). The
detainees were also branded with the initials "F.P." (Front Polisario).
Electrocution was one of the torture methods most used in Errachid, and applied to sensitive
places on the victim's naked body, such as the head, mouth, genitals, open wounds. Cigarettes
were also applied to the naked body of the victims. In addition, pliers were tools used by the
torturers for denailing and the extraction of dents of the victims, as methods of torture. Another
unprecedented torturing method was “the rectal syringe”, by which the torturers administer a
big quantity of hot and salty water into the body of the victim, which causes a lot of pain and
suffering that lasts for hours.
103 survivors contacted during the preparation of the report affirmed that they still suffer from
the after-effects of this inhuman and cruel treatment, the traces of which are still visible on
different parts of their bodies, as they confided that they are suffering from exhaustion, anxiety
and depression, with lack of concentration and memory lapses, and are still living with psycho-
emotional disorders, such as insomnias and panic attacks, while 18 of them went mad.
Based on the collection work undertaken by ASIMCAT, many of the victims died following
these lengthy sessions of torture. Our report incorporates a preliminary list of 131 Sahrawi
civilians put to death in Errachid (Annex 02).
The France Libertés foundation, which was one of the unconditional supporters of the
Polisario, was authorized by Algeria and the Polisario to investigate the human rights situation
in the camps in 2003. The France Libertés report was damning for both Algeria and the
Polisario, and provided tangible evidence on the extent of the violations committed by the
Polisario leaders, including at Errachid detention center.
The lengthy report of France Libertés indicated that “According to the testimonies

8
collected…there are several detention and torture centers, particularly the prison Errachid”5,
that there are many other detention centers that are more remote, particularly in the military
regions, which the investigators could not actually visit, such as Dougaj, Agwanit, Mijek,
Mehaires, Tifariti, Bir Lahlou, and Zug6, and that “Errachid is a prison where torture is
systematically practiced on the detainees. Right up to 1998, an average of 2 to 3 detainees
died and had to be buried every night”7.
5. Algeria’s Responsibility and Prevailing Impunity
In its concluding observations on the fourth periodic report of Algeria in 2018, the UN Human
Rights Committee has expressed its deep concerns over “the de facto devolution of authority
to the Frente Polisario, especially jurisdictional authority, as a situation inconsistent with the
State party’s obligation to respect and guarantee all Covenant rights for all persons within its
territory”8.
The same concerns were reiterated by the UN Secretary General in his report on the Western
Sahara in October 2018, stating that “as a result of the foregoing, victims of violations of
Covenant provisions in the camps at Tindouf do not have access to an effective remedy in the
State party’s courts”9.
Such a ‘de facto devolution of authority’ from Algeria to the Polisario Front has generated a
jurisdictional vacuum cloaked under an “illegal extraterritoriality” in the camps, which goes
against the UNHCR’s founding principles10, as only the laws of the host State that should be
applicable in Tindouf camps without any exception.
It should be noted that the placement of Sahrawi refugees in military camps is also considered
a crime against humanity when it results in "imprisonment or other form of serious deprivation
of physical freedom ... or unlawful detentions of the civilian population" as contained in the
the Statute of the International Criminal Court11. All these principles and rules are flouted in
the case of the Tindouf camps where prevails a situation of lawlessness, guaranteeing the
impunity of the perpetrators of serious human rights violations in the Tindouf camps, while the
Sahrawi refugees have no access to any legal remedy or mediation, in the face of these serious
transgressions.
The Sahrawi refugee camps, being created on the territory of Algeria, come under the sole
authority and legal order of the Algerian government, which entails the protection of refugees
in the camps as part of its responsibility and obligation, based on the principles enshrined in
international law, and those stemming from the 1951 Refugee Convention.

Faced with the refusal of the Algerian authorities to assume their responsibilities with regard
to the large-scale practice of enforced and involuntary disappearance of the Sahrawis in the
Tindouf camps on the Algerian territory, ASIMCAT calls on the United Nations bodies to
ensure that:
• Algeria implements the recommendations of the UN Human Rights Committee to put
an end to the illegal devolution of its powers to the Polisario, including the jurisdictional
powers, on the part of its territory accommodating the Sahrawi refugee camps.
• Algeria undertakes effective and impartial inquiries into the circumstances of the
disappearance on Algerian territory of hundreds of Sahrawi refugees, in particular those
who have been kidnapped by elements of the Algerian public forcse.
• Algeria unveils the fate of the missing persons, and returns their remains to their
families to hold a proper funeral for the victims.
• Algeria prosecutes the perpetrators of these inhumane practices before the competent
courts, and provide reparation for the victims of these enforced disappearances and their
families.
• UNHCR fully implements its mandate in the Tindouf camps, including the protection
of the inhabitants of these camps.
