Most of those registered are deceased, and the Polisario can no longer prove that its current members have any genuine link to the territory.

Press sources clarified that these detainees were fighting alongside Bashar al-Assad's forces around Aleppo and were captured by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham during the offensive it launched in late November, which led to the regime’s downfall.

The European Parliament is not only a legislative body but also embodies the democratic values of the European Union. It is crucial to shield it from external influences that could undermine these principles. Article 35 of its rules specifies the boundaries for Intergroups—working groups focused on specific issues—to ensure they are not exploited or manipulated by outside interests.
