Mustapha Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud said, on Monday, that he had turned down his kidnappers' offer to backtrack on his statements in exchange for his liberation.

 "I refused to backtrack on my views and statements and collaborate with security services to obtain my liberation," Ould Sidi Mouloud told the Moroccan "Med Radio" from Nouakchott.  
    He said he had been mistreated during his detention "all the more so as I was held in the desert and the polisario denied me access to the Tindouf camps."
     Ould Sidi Mouloud added that he told the UNHCR that he wanted to reunite his family wherever in the world, calling for his family to be allowed free movement.
    "I want to live naturally with my family; I am in an inhuman situation which I have not chosen."
    He noted that he had been interrogated during his detention by a director of Algerian intelligence services and that the interrogation focused on means to charge him with treason, an accusation, he said, that is vague and hard to prove.
     Ould Sidi Mouloud called for cohabitation and rejection of extremism, grudges and conflicts.
    He also extended thanks to the Moroccan people and authorities for their efforts to get him released.

My activism is meant to allow Sahrawis make freely their decisions, Ould Sidi Mouloud says
Rabat - Mustapha Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud said, on Monday, that his cause is part of the activism meant to allow Sahrawis make freely their own decisions.
    Reached by phone in Mauritania, Ould Sidi Mouloud told TV channel "2M" that "we refuse to be mere Sahrawis in the pay of any person and we are striving to become free Sahrawis," adding that Algeria was exposed before the world as wanting to subdue the Sahrawi people, and making them adopt the Algerian view and serve a well-defined plan.

    He said that his first concern is to reunite with his family, in the camps of Tindouf on the Algerian territory, despite Algeria's excuses, adding that "this is his right and a humanitarian right as well."

Ould Sidi Mouloud calls upon international community to guarantee his right to reunite with his family in Tindouf
Rabat - Mustapha Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud called, on Monday, upon the international community to guarantee his right to reunite with his family in the camps of Tindouf (south-western Algeria).
    "My sole call to the world is to enable me to join my family," he told the Tangier based Medi 1 radio, adding that he is "living in the void" because of this situation.

    The Sahrawi militant expressed determination to continue on the path that he has chosen despite restrictions imposed by the enemies of Morocco's territorial integrity, who threatened him with death.    

    Ould Sidi Mouloud recounted the circumstances of his abduction and release in addition to the pressures which the polisario leadership desperately tried to impose to undermine his determination.

    “Algeria does not have the right to prevent me from visiting my relatives and tribe in the camps of Tindouf,” Ould Sidi Mouloud underlined, recalling that Algerian authorities, in a “despicable and immoral act”, had denied his father access to his family.

     The Action Committee for the Release of Mustapha Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud, known by its French acronym (CALMS), recently voiced worry about the delay by the UN refugee agency (HCR) in enabling the Sahrawi militant to reunite with his family.

    "Since December the 1, 2010, date of his transfer by the HCR (the UN’s refugee agency) from the Algerian prison where he was detained to Nouakchott, Mustapha Salma has been waiting to join his family in the Tindouf camps, in Algeria," the CALMS noted in a statement.
