The demonstrators chanted slogans against the Moroccan occupation of their territory, denouncing the repressive practices perpetrated by the Moroccan forces of occupation against the Saharawi citizens in the occupied territories of Western Sahara and South Morocco.

They also demanded that "Saharawi people be enabled to exercise their right to self-determination so as to freely decide on their future", the same source stressed.

Demonstrators further demanded the "immediate" release of Saharawi detainee, M'Barek Maazez, who was arrested by the Moroccan authorities and brought before the Moroccan military court n Rabat last December the 30th 2005.

SAHARAWI POLITICAL PRISONERS/SADR/CONGRATULATIONS

The Political prisoners to President Abdelaziz: The Saharawi people in the occupied territories are attached to their peaceful struggle for independence   

 

 

 
 

 

El Aaiun (the occupied capital of SADR), 03/01/2005 (SPS) Saharawi political prisoners, illegally incarcerated in the Moroccan prisons, affirmed in a letter they addressed to the Head of the State, Mohamed Abdelaziz, on the occasion of the new year, that "the Saharawi people in the occupied territories are attached to the peaceful struggle for the independence" of Western Sahara.

 

"A new year has just started and the resistance of the Saharawi people is in its utmost, accumulating the acquisitions, and getting even stronger by the attachment to the Popular Front for the Liberation of the Saguia El Hamra y Rio de Oro, and the attachment to the peaceful ways of struggle", for the liberation of Western Sahara from the yoke of the Moroccan colonialism", wrote the letter of the 56 Saharawi political prisoners, in response to a letter they received from the President of the Republic last Saturday on the occasion of the celebration of the New Year.

 

"The Saharawi population understood well the message contained in your last speech before the last National Conference of the cadres, and they are decided to respect these directives, rejecting all violent means and get even more attached to the peaceful and legitimate resistance" to recover their legitimate rights to self-determination and independence, the text added.

 

Expressing their pride and gratitude for "the particular attention you gave us", the Saharawi political prisoners highly appreciated the continuous defence waged by President Abdelaziz, "since the start of the uprising of independence, divulgating to the whole world the seriousness of the situation, the degree of the suffering of the Saharawi population in the occupied cities and south Morocco and mobilising all forces and means to face the damages caused by the Moroccan forces of repression to the Saharawi people and belongings", they underlined.

 

They also expressed their gratitude to the organisations and institutions of the Saharawi Republic, who mobilised all their forces t support the uprising of the Intifada of independence, and who showed a big support to the population in their struggle against the oppressor.

 

Te signatories of the letter finally congratulated the Saharawi Government, who "proved its activism by getting the important recognition of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, which crowned that way the front of the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic with the 80th recognition".

 

The President of the Republic, Mr. Mohamed Abdelaziz, addressed on Saturday a moving letter to the 56 Saharawi political prisoners, who are illegally incarcerated by the Moroccan Government in its different prisons, on the occasion of the celebration of the festivities of the new year, reiterating them "the oath to pursue the legitimate struggle for freedom and independence" of the Saharawi people.

 

 

While the peoples of the world are celebrating with joy the end of a year and are dreaming of a better new year, "the sights of the Saharawis are fixed, with sadness, on the sinister cells and Moroccan colonial detention camps, such as the Black Prison in the occupied capital of our country, El Aaiun, as well as in other prisons in Moroccan cities of Ait Melloul, Tiznit, Qenitra and elsewhere", the Head of the State wrote.

 

On another hand, Mr. Abdelaziz regretted the stubbornness of the Moroccan Government, which pursues "its colonial repressive practices in the Western Sahara", making this "happy international event full of sadness, repression and terror" for the Saharawi people in the occupied territories of Western Sahara and south Morocco.
