Claude Mangin who tried Monday to visit her husband Naâma Asfari, a
Saharawi political prisoner in Kenitra prison (Morocco).
"The
Association of Friends of the SADR and all associations in France and
Europe in solidarity with Sahrawi denounce this new expulsion,
voicing their total support for all initiatives that can take
Ms. Mangin-Asfari to enter the Kenitra prison where her husband
jailed, "said the French association in a statement released
Monday.
the
said associations, the statement continues, will appeal to the French
authorities to support Claude Mangin in the application of his access
rights.
Claude
Mangin moved on Monday for a second visit of her imprisoned husband
to Kenitra (50 km north of Rabat), but she was manu militari expelled
from Casablanca airport aboard the same plane that has just landed in
Paris-Orly.
This
is not the first time that the activist has been prevented from
visiting her husband Naâma Asfari, who has been detained since
November 2010, after being sentenced to 30 years imprisonment on the
basis of confessions signed under torture for his participation at
the Saharawi camp of Gdeim Izik.
