"The family of the Sahrawi young unionist was informed only 15 minutes before his burial, et did not give its consent," according the organization that quoted members of Brahim Saika's family.
Adala UK stated that so far, Moroccan forces refuse to carry out an autopsy to determine the cause of Brahim Saika's death" and even "proposed to the family USD 70,000 to ink the burial agreement without autopsy."
