Agadir (Morocco), 17 December 2025 (SPS) – The Moroccan occupation authorities issued an unjust sentences against two Sahrawi students, Salah Brahim Sabbaar and Brahim Babit, sentencing them to eight months of effective imprisonment and a fine, according to a Sahrawi human rights source.
Moroccan police in the city of Agadir had arrested the two student activists on 5 December 2025, before later referring them to the prosecutor of the occupation court in Agadir, which decided to prosecute them on fabricated charges and cases in retaliation for their student activism at Ibn Zohr University in Agadir.
It is worth noting that today’s sentences against the student activists Salah Sabbaar and Brahim Babit comes less than two months after their arrest and after they had been sentenced to 30 days of effective imprisonment following a malicious complaint filed by the Dean of the Faculty of Law at Ibn Zohr University.
While the League for the Protection of Sahrawi Prisoners in Moroccan Prisons expressed its solidarity with the detainees Salah Sabbaar and Brahim Babit and their families, it also sounded the alarm over the continued policy of political arrest pursued by the Moroccan state as a retaliatory measure against Sahrawi activists and human rights defenders.
