El Aaiun (occupied territories), Jan 27, 2015 (SPS) - Saharawi prisoner, Abdelbagi Aliyen Antahah, on Monday died of torture inside the Moroccan Black Prison, said the Saharawi ministry of occupied territories, diaspora and rural areas.


According to the source, Abdelbagi, 22 years old, was undergoing a-year-and-a-half prison sentence, before being attacked to death by the jail’s administration.


In solitary confinement since Wednesday, the prisoner was subjected to severe torture until he lost consciousness.


To be noted, at least 8 Saharawi prisoners have already died in less than two years, with no steps taken to probe the causes of their death by Moroccan occupying authorities. (SPS)
