Shaheed El Hafed, September 8, 2011 (SPS) - The National Secretariat (SN) of the Polisario Front has denounced the colonial practices of the Moroccan government, through the campaigns of brutal repression, arrests, abductions and transferring civilians before military courts, particularly since the forced dismantling of the camp of Gdeim Izik, November 8, 2010.
In this context, the SN condemned the refusal of the Moroccan authorities to make public the circumstances of the murder of young Saharawi, martyr Saeed Dembar, killed by a Moroccan police officer in occupied El Aaiun in December, in which Morocco assumes complete responsibility for this heinous crime, indicated a statement of the SN released Thursday.
It also denounced the siege imposed by Morocco on the media and independent international observers, to prevent them from finding out the reality of violations of human rights in Western Sahara.
The NS, the highest authority in the Polisario Front, saluted the peaceful resistance led by the Saharawi population in the occupied territories of Western Sahara, Morocco and the Moroccan universities, calling for self-determination for the Saharawi people and the immediate withdrawal of the Moroccan occupation from Western Sahara.
Finally, it called for the immediate and unconditional release of Saharawi political prisoner, Mohamed Elhafed Iaaza, sentenced to 15 in prison, and all other prisoners of conscience who are still languishing in Moroccan prisons, and that full light be shed on the fate of over 651 Sahrawi in the hands of Morocco, stopping the illegal plunder of natural resources and dismantling the wall of shame built by Morocco.
