Agadir (Morocco), May 27, 2014 (SPS) - The Saharawi political prisoner El-Haiba Moulay Kaiss unfairly sentenced Monday by the Moroccan Court of Appeal in the city of Agadir to five years in prison, said Saharawi rights sources.


The judgment against El-Haiba is the harshest one in a series of sentences pronounced against a group of Saharawi political prisoners, arrested in Guleimim after their participation in demonstrations in protest to the assassination of Rachid Chain in September 2013. (SPS)
