The Regional Directorate for Prison Administration and Reintegration in the Laayoune Sakia El Hamra region, in partnership with the Regional Human Rights Commission of Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra region (CRDH), will organize the fourth online workshop on human rights for the benefit of prisoners in the region, on Thursday 2 March 2021.

This workshop is part of the training program targeting inmates in the two prisons in Laayoune and Es-Smara.

These workshops are conducted by the CRDH. They aim at consolidating the reformist concept of the role of prison within the context of the implementation of procedural measures related to the national action plan on democracy and human rights. They also intend to strengthen programs related to training and raising awareness of human rights values and their protecting and promoting mechanisms.

Besides, they seek to empower prisoners with the mechanisms and methods to peacefully resolving disputes and combating all forms of extremism, discrimination and hatred.

This training program has been launched on 15 December 2020. It includes two workshops every month. It will culminate in the establishment of the Human Rights and Citizenship Club in each prison in the region at the end of June 2021.
