Similar demonstrations were thwarted by Moroccan repressive apparatus in Smara Street in the occupied city of El Aaiun.
The demonstrators chanted anti-pact slogans and display banners calling for the independence of Western Sahara, before Moroccan police knocked them down.
Despite the military and security deployment by Morocco, the demonstrations had spread to other neighborhoods and streets of the city, including Mohamed Dadach Street. (SPS)
