Testimony of the uncle of Mohamed Lamin Haidala, the 21-year-old Saharawi, who was taking a plumbing course in the occupied city of El Aaiún, son of Abdalahi Haidala and Takbar Hadi, who lived with his maternal grandparents in the “Casa Piedra” neighborhood in Laayoune.

Laayoune, February 10, 2014

On Saturday, January 31 at approximately 9:30 p.m., the settlers of a furniture store, which is in front of the house of Mohamed Lamin Haidala’s grandparents, began to hurl discriminatory insults at him because of his condition as a Saharawi. The Moroccan settlers owned the store and were there with their two nephews and two employees. When Mohamed Lamin reacted to the insults, the owner of the store threw him a stone that hit him in the chest and made him fall to the ground, immediately afterwards by the group of settlers who threw themselves on Mohamed Lamin to start beating him in all parts of the body while one of them stuck a scissors in his neck, then Mohamed Lamin completely lost consciousness, the occupation police arrived and then the ambulance took him to the Ben Mehdi hospital in occupied El Aaiún, while the colonists were left loose. When he arrived at the emergency room, seriously injured, the police accompanied him, while they finished sewing his wounds without anesthesia and without disinfectants, amid screams of pain, I was taken to the premises of the central occupation police station, after taking him and bringing him several times from the police station hospital without notifying his family, finally he was left in the dungeons of the central police station in pain and without the minimum human conditions, without a blanket or mattress. He spent in those dependencies until Monday, February 2, and at 8:00 in the morning I was taken to the hospital where they injected painkillers and then he was placed with his wounds in front of a court and before the so-called attorney of the king of the Moroccan occupation. . The Moroccan occupation attorney, requested a medical certificate, When his uncle Sidi Hadi went to request this certificate, Dr. Hachimi Noufel denied him the certificate, or he is the same doctor who granted the certificates to the settlers who attacked Mohamed Lamin without presenting any lesson. While all this was happening, Mohamed Lamin was still in court without medical attention and without eating or drinking, suffering from his injuries when the young Mohamed Lamin’s uncle returned to court without a medical certificate, then Mohamed Lamin was temporarily released while his executioners they were still in their houses. When Mohamed Lamin arrives at his house, another ordeal begins, since he could not sleep, the family took him to the hospital, there they found the heartless doctor Hachimi Noufel who gave him oxygen and a calming injection, the next day, which was February 3. 12: 00h, After going through a scan, I was transferred to the Hassan II hospital in El Aaiún, where he was hospitalized until 9:00 p.m. When Mohamed Lamin completely lost consciousness and his uncle called those responsible for the hospital, the doctor answered them by phone telling them that his condition was not serious and that he was going through a recoverable situation and his presence was not necessary, the next day, the On February 4, the doctor arrived and when she saw him she said: “This patient is in serious condition and he must be sent to the Moroccan city of Agadir and that the Hassan II hospital did not have oxygen.” Then they sent him back to Ben Mehdi hospital and there he stayed in the emergency room, where they connected tubes in his kidneys. The doctors, seeing that the young man was in serious condition, asked the relatives to rent an ambulance to take him to the Moroccan city of Agadir and adding that nothing could be done for him, in addition they had to pay the costs of his instance in the hospital before I can get out. In the end, the family paid for everything, but the ambulance took more than an hour to arrive and finally they gave him the safe conduct. Then began the final ordeal for Mohamed Lamin during 666 km of suffering, until he reached the Moroccan city of Agadir. In Agadir, they began to send him from one clinic to another, denying him entry until he lost his life only and negligently like so many other Sahrawis who were forgotten. In addition, he had to pay the costs of his instance in the hospital before he could leave. In the end, the family paid for everything, but the ambulance took more than an hour to arrive and finally they gave him the safe conduct. Then began the final ordeal for Mohamed Lamin during 666 km of
