El Aaiún (Occupied Territories) - Moroccan police agents arrested Monday the Saharawi citizen Ismaili Ahmed, 17, in El Aaiun, the capital of occupied Western Sahara, said today, Tuesday, the Collective of Sahrawi Human Rights Defenders (CODESA).

 

According to CODESA, Ismaili was forced by the Moroccan officials to ride a police vehicle without charging him or inform him of the reason for the arrest.

 

Ismaili's family believes his son was arrested because of his participation in peaceful demonstrations to defend the right of the Saharawi people to self-determination and liberation of the Sahrawi political prisoners in Moroccan jails.(SPS)
