Toulouse (France), November 23, 2014 (SPS) - The European Trade Unions Network called for an independent inquiry into the causes of the death of Saharawi political prisoner Hassena Lwali and prosecuting the perpetrators.

 

In a resolution adopted unanimously at a meeting held on November 15-16, in Toulouse, France, the European Network expressed its condolences to the family of Hassena Elwali, died on September 28, in the occupied city of Dakhla, and all the Saharawi people.

 

The European Network urged the European Union to intervene urgently to cancel the advanced status granted to Morocco by the European Union, a regime which suppresses civilians demanding the self-determination and independence of Western Sahara. "

 

It should be recalled  that Hassena Elwali born in Dakhla in 1973, was kidnapped on January 6, 2012, following a Sahrawi peaceful demonstration brutally repressed by the Moroccan police. He was sentenced to three years in prison. (SPS)
