El Aaiun (occupied territories), Oct 17, 2011 (SPS) - Saharawi Associations has called on the Saharawis to pour into the streets in order to demand their political, economic and civil rights, in a ceremony organized Monday in the occupied city of El Aaiun on occasion of the release of the Saharawi political prisoner, Alwali Amaidan.

During the ceremony, the associations stressed on the need for the Saharawis to continue the peaceful struggle and pouring to the streets for demonstrating and demanding their political, economic, civil, social and cultural rights enshrined in the relevant international covenants and conventions, including foremost the right of the Saharawi people to self-determination and benefit from Western Sahara’s wealth.

Families of the Saharawi political prisoners in the Moroccan jails emphasized the need to support them in order to release their sons, holding the Moroccan state responsible for their arrest and presented them to military and civil trails on the ground of their positions on Western Sahara cause and participation in peaceful demonstrations calling for the Saharawi people’s right to self-determination.

The Saharawi masses in the occupied city of El Aaiun organized Friday a reception to the Saharawi political prisoner, Alwali Amaidan, who released by the Moroccan occupation authorities on October 13, 2011 after he spent five years in prison due to his political positions.

Speaking in the ceremony, Alwali Amaidan stressed that his arrest “will not give up his determination and continuation to continue struggle for defending the right of the Saharawi people to self-determination and benefit from Western Sahara’s wealth,” reaffirming “I will remain an activist believing in the Polisario Front as a legitimate and sole representative of the Saharawi people.” (SPS)
