Occupied Aaiún, Oct 19, 2021 (SPS) - The Saharawi political prisoner and journalist Yehdih Jalihenna Sabi, Director of the El-Guerguerat Media Network, continues on an open hunger strike for the eighth consecutive day as reported by sources from the League for the Protection of Sahrawi Prisoners in Moroccan Prisons.
