SAHARAWI WOMEN CONDEMN THE BRUTAL REPRESSION

Saharawi Women express their most vigorious condemnation to yesterday´s brutal repression perpetrated by the moroccan army against peaceful saharawi citizens whom were going to celebrate the returning of another group of Saharawi human rights activists who have just visited the Saharawi Refugee Camps (South-east Algeria).
Moroccan security services arrested Sunday and Monday in the occupied city of El aaiún dozens of Sahrawi citizens, while dozens others suffered injuries of varying degrees of severity, including four members of the delegation of human rights activists which was on a visit to the  refugee camps.
The occupied city of Al Ayun is currently under a tightened security blockade, imposed by various Moroccan intelligence services and police to prevent Sahrawi population from meeting with the delegation of Independence Intifada, after their return to the city, according to identical human rights sources.
The same sources indicated banning at least 20 Sahrawi people from meeting with the delegation of Sahrawi activists and that some of them have been subjected to attacks, resulting in injuries of varying degrees of severity.
It should be recalled that the delegation of human rights activists had expressed, pendig to their visit to the Sahrawi refugee camps, their fear of reprisals by the security services of the Moroccan occupation, as they returned.
