El Aaiun (occupied territories), 16/08/2006 (SPS) Two young Saharawis at
least were transferred on Tuesday to the notorious Carcel Negra after having
been brought before the Moroccan colonial court in El Aaiun, the occupied
capital of the Saharawi Republic, concordant sources reported.
The Saharawi citizens: Tourki Sidemou Khalil and Laraibi Mohamed Ali Houssein
were recently arrested, according to the same sources, "for having participated
to peaceful demonstrations that took place in Feim El Wad (El Aaiun Beach) to
denounce the Moroccan presence in the Western Sahara and advocating the Saharawi
people’s right to self-determination and independence".
On another hand, the Saharawi citizens in Maatala Street organised a sit-in in
the same day asking for "the immediate release" of the citizen, Jamal Mohamed
Fadel, who was arrested recently by the Moroccan forces of repression and the
respect of the human rights in the occupied territories of the Western Sahara.
The Moroccan forces of occupation "savagely" intervened causing dozens wounded
among the demonstrators, who lifted the Saharawi flags and chanted slogans in
favour of the independence of the Saharawi Republic, it was added.
It should be noted that Maatala is "completely" sealed by the different corps of
the Moroccan forces of occupation through patrols that control all the Saharawi
by-passers "without distinction", the same sources added.
Moreover the Moroccan colonial forces in the "Lemseïd", remains "alert" since
last July the 30th, after the distribution of flags of the Saharawi Republic and
tracts advocating the "immediate withdrawal" of the Moroccan occupation from the
Western Sahara. (SPS)
