Moroccan colonial court in the occupied territories postponed the
judgment of six Saharawi political prisoners, who were brought

investigation on the circumstances of the aggression the Saharawi
political prisoners were subjected to last January the 19th in the
Carcel Negra (black jail) and without the guarantee of a just
trial".

General of the Saharawi Association of the Victims of the Flagrant
Human Rights Violations Committed by the Moroccan State, Brahim
Sabar, in addition to Ahmed Sbai, Loumadi Abdessalam, Toubali El
Hafed, El Ghasmi Mohamed Lehbib and Ahmeidatt Ahmed Salem.
