Madrid, 01/02/2007 (SPS) The Association of solidarity with
the Saharawi people of the Canary Islands (ACSPS) blamed the Spanish
Government on Wednesday for its unclear position on the conflict of
the Western Sahara and called on the Moroccan authorities to
collaborate with the UN so as a self-determination referendum be
organised.
This position was expressed by the Vice-President of the
association, Rosario Bolanios, on the occasion of the delivery of a
letter of protest addressed to the Government of this country to
protest against the repression exercise by Rabat in the occupied
territories of the Western Sahara.
Mrs. Bolanios, quoted by the Spanish press agency EFE, denounced the
"Medias blockage" to which are submitted the occupied territories
where "the repression against the Saharawi population, the practice
of torture, detentions and absurd trials" are still exercised.
She also denounced "the connivance of some European governments",
which have relations with the Moroccan regime without demanding the
lifting of the siege imposed on the Western Sahara by Morocco.
"I can not understand how we can stay so complaisant in the face of
the seriousness of the situation lived in about one hundred km far
from the Canary Islands", she wondered underlining that this
"tolerance" reassures Morocco in its policy.
In its letter to the Moroccan Government, the Canary Islands’
association of solidarity with the Saharawi people demanded the end
"of the brutal repression" exercised against the Saharawi
population, the release of the Saharawi political prisoners and the
free access of international press and observers to the occupied
territories of the Western Sahara.
It further ed the UN Security Council and to the international
community in addition to the Moroccan State to respect the
implementation of the international legality in Western Sahara
through a self-determination referendum, "the only way to reach a
just solution" to the conflict, the association underlined.
