Goulimine (south of Morocco),
08/01/2007 (SPS) Saharawi students in Goulmine are organising a
sit-in, since Friday, asking for Saharawi people’s right to
self-determination and denouncing the "gross" human rights
violations perpetrated by the Moroccan Government in the occupied
territories of the Western Sahara and in the south of Morocco, a
source from the Saharawi Ministry of Occupied Territories and
Communities indicated.
The sit-in was followed by a march joined by dozens Saharawi
citizens in this city situated in the south of Morocco. The
demonstrators advocated "the immediate withdrawal of the Moroccan
occupation from the Western Sahara, the respect of the human rights
in the Saharawi occupied territories and the unconditional release
of the Saharawi political prisoners".
The march started from the "Mohamed Abdelaziz" street and crossed
the main streets of this city inhabited by a Saharawi majority. The
demonstrators were then dispersed by the different Moroccan forces
of repression, the same source stressed.
The city of Goulimine is completely sealed by the Moroccan forces of
repression, composed of the GUS, auxiliary forces, forces of
intervention…etc.
This sit-in is the second in less than one week in which the
Saharawi students expressed their solidarity with the Intifada and
affirmed their determination to continue the struggle until the
Saharawi people’s right to self-determination, it should be
recalled. (SPS)
