As for the detainee in Nador 2 local prison (AA), he staged a hunger strike for reasons relating to his case and not to his incarceration conditions, said the General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration, noting that he is under medical surveillance and his health state is stable. The prisoner (AF) was transferred from the Bourkaiz local prison to that of Toulal 2, after having finished his studies in vocational training, and where he was found in possession of illegal objects, the same source said, adding that he was brought before a disciplinary committee which decided to put him in a disciplinary cell. After making a request to the prison administration, the detainee was placed in a collective cell where he enjoys all his rights, including family visits.
The delegation also asserts that the administrations of the various penitentiaries ensure daily monitoring of the health state of prisoners on hunger strike, whether in their clinics or in public hospitals. They also welcome representatives of different specialized departments as well as the regional and central committees of the National Council for Human Rights (CNDH) to inquire about the conditions of these inmates.
The delegation also said that this association, by seeking to disseminate this kind of false and alarmist information meant to mislead the public opinion, is sticking to its method based on the exploitation of this issue to serve suspicious agendas that have nothing to do with these detainees' conditions of imprisonment.
