Sahrawi Association of Victims of Grave Violations of Human Rights Committed by the Moroccan State (ASVDH)

The Sahrawi Association of Victims of Grave Violations of Human Rights Committed by the Moroccan State (ASVDH) is an independent human rights organisation operating in Western Sahara. The organisation was denied registration by the Moroccan authorities since its foundation in 2005, and was finally granted it in 2015 when it became the only registered organisation in Western Sahara.
