El Aaiun (occupied territories), Feb 11, 2012 (SPS) - The Saharawi marginalized groups called Saturday on the Moroccan and international organizations of human rights to stand with them in their just and legitimate demands guaranteed in the international conventions and covenants related to human rights, mainly to disclose fate of the Saharawi disappeared and missings and release the political prisoners incarcerated in the jails of Morocco, according to a source of the Ministry of Occupied Territories and Communities Abroad.
This call came in the context of a peaceful sit-in organized Saturday in front of Conference Palace, Street of Mecca, in the occupied city of El Aaiun, capital of Western Sahara, by Saharawi human rights and trade unions organizations along with families of Saharawi missings and prisoners to denounce the conference held by what so-called the Moroccan Inter-Ministerial Delegation for Human Rights.
The conference is being held to discuss the mechanism of the periodic review in the field of human rights, at a time when Morocco continues to commit abduction, imprisonment, unfair trails in the occupied Western Sahara, in addition to repeated abuses against the Saharawi civilians and confiscating their rights to peaceful protest and association according to international conventions and covenants.
It is worth noting that the Moroccan state continues to violate the political, civil, economic and social rights of the Saharawi citizens and refuses to allow the establishment of a UN mechanism to monitor and report about human rights abuses in the Territory. (SPS)
