Las Palmas (Canary Islands), June 20, 2015 (SPS) - Saharawi mother Tekber Hedi suspended Friday the unlimited hunger strike she waged since May 15, in front of the headquarters of the Moroccan Consulate in Las Palmas, Canary Islands.
She demanded an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the murder of her son Mohamed Lamine Haidala, 21, in February by Moroccan settlers in the occupied city of El Aaiun, according to Sahrawi human rights sources.
The Saharawi citizen suspended her 35-days hunger strike due to deteriorating of health and acute pain in different parts of the body that led to her transfer to hospital for treatment and medical surveillance.
Tekber Hedi will continue her protest in front of the Moroccan consulate to demand a fair and impartial investigation on the murder of her son and bringing the perpetrators to justice. (SPS)
