Paris,
09/11/2007 (SPS) The pursuit of the repression against the
Saharawi people "does not contribute to create a favourable
climate for the direct negotiations between Morocco and
POLISARIO Front", indicated Mr. Jean Lemarec, member of the
Committee for the Respect of the liberties and Human right in
Western Sahara (CORELSO), in an article published in “Rouge
midi’’.
"These last months, Morocco took profit of the fact that the
attention was diverted to the negotiations between POLISARIO
Front’s delegation and Morocco to intensify the repressive
measures against the Saharawi people in the occupied
territories", Mr. Jean-Paul Lemarec, wrote in his article
entitled "the carrot and the truncheon".
"All the demonstrations, often organised by the youngsters to
demand the Saharawi peoples’ right to self-determination and
independence, are violently oppressed by the Moroccan forces of
occupation", he stated, stressing that the "arrests,
imprisonments, abductions, tortures, ransacked houses, are the
daily life of the Saharawis".
He also noted that we were able to witness on resuming to
"forced disappearance": Months ago, 15 Saharawi youngsters
disappeared and their parents can not find information on them.
This summer, the number of the Saharawi political prisoners
doubled and the show trials increased against the Saharawi human
rights activists".
The writer stated many cases of Moroccan human rights violations
against the Saharawi people and emphasised the importance of
putting an end to the Moroccan human rights violations so as to
encourage negotiations between POLISARIO Front and Morocco.
He stressed that "from now to December, the actions must be
undertaken vis-à-vis the international bodies, governments of
the European Union (especially France) so as to compel Morocco
respect its international engagements for the respect of the
Saharawi people’s right to self-determination and so as to put
an end to the repression in the occupied territories of Western
Sahara".
"From this standing point, it is necessary to enlarge he UN
Mission for the organisation of a referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO-
in French) to include the protection of the human rights", he
concluded.
