In a letter today to Mr. Ban Ki Moon, President Mohamed Abdelaziz stressed the urgent need to meet the demands of Sahrawi demonstrators in ensuring the respect of human rights and monitoring of them in Western Sahara.
The President of the Republic also drew the attention of the United Nations that the efforts led by Personal Envoy Mr. Christopher Ross are "constantly exposed to provocation and obstruction by the Moroccan State of occupation," which he said "does not hesitate to violate international law and international humanitarian law."
He also called for an end to the looting of Sahrawi natural resources, elimination of the military occupation wall of separation, release of Gdeim izik detainees and all Sahrawi political prisoners in Moroccan jails and reveal the fate of the missing people.
The intervention by Moroccan forces against peaceful Sahrawi demonstrators in the occupied cities of El Aaiun and Boujdour on Saturday left more than 80 casualties. (SPS)
