Dakhla (Refugee Camps), December 17, 2015 (SPS) - Saharawi women continue to be subjected to violence and abuse from Moroccan security forces in the occupied Western Sahara's towns, especially after they returned back from the 14th Polisario Front congress, participants at the event told APS.
Several Saharawi female activists, on the sidelines of the congress, denounced "suppression" they are subjected to from Moroccan authorities in the occupied territories, mainly in Al-Ayun.
According to Lajdar Loucine, president of El-Mostaqbal Forum for Saharawi Women, the situation in the occupied territories is extremely difficult, especially for Saharawi women.
Loucine, on other hand, greeted Algeria's support to Saharawi people, who are under Moroccan colonial rule for more than 40 year. (SPS)
