He has also insisted "the Moroccan decision to subject prisoners of Gdeim Izik before a military court on Friday January 13, 2012, is not only illegal and immoral, it is also a mockery of the international community represented by UN and  subtracting its consideration and credibility ".

President Mohamed Abdelaziz reaffirmed that Morocco is the only responsible for repressing, jailing and killing Sahrawi children, women and elderly following the deadly attack of Moroccan army against Saharawi protest camp of Gdeim Izik. (SPS)
