Ramdan Masoud also questioned members of the German parliament on the enforced disappearances and abuses perpetrated by separatist militias in the Tinduf camps, in Algerian territory, with the complicity of the authorities of this country and set out the details of the complaint against the leaders of the separatists, the illegal hosting of Brahim Ghali in Spain, and the conspiracy to save him from conviction for crimes against humanity.
