El Aaiun (occupied territory), 10/03/2005 (SPS) A wide campaign of protest was launched in occupied territories and in Morocan universities against the repressive practices Saharawi students  were victims to, last Tuesday in Rabat. The opressive attack against demonstrating Saharawi student last Tuesday resulted to the injuries of more than 20 university students, reported matching sources.
 
In this respect, Human Rights Rafto Price winner, Sidi Mohamed Deddech, Saharawi human rights defenders, the Committee for the Protection of the Detainees of the Carcel Negra, denounced this "blind repression", which striked "inocent young persons" in a moment Morocco highly claims "to be respecting human rights".

Saharawi human rights activists declared their "solidarity with the students' mouvement in its legitimte struggle" and called all persons concerned with justice to "pressure Morocco respect human rights in Western Sahara".

On his part, Ali Salem Tamek, Saharawi tradeunionist and former political prisoner, joined this campaign of protest calling the Moroccan Government "to allow Saharawi people freely exercice their right to self-determination".

The Committee for the protection of Saharawi detainees in Morocco, on another hand, claimed for free access of foreign observers and medias to Western Sahara so as to allow them "have an idea, on the ground, about the conditions of detention of all the Saharawi population under Moroccan colonial occupation".

Moroccan police had repressed, last Tuesday afternoon, a demonstration in Rabat organised by Saharawi students, who were claiming their people's right to self-determination and the respect of human right in Western Sahara. (SPS)
