The meeting was attended by the chairman of Algerian Parliament committee on Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and Emigration, Noureddine Benmeddah, deputy chairman of the Parliamentary group for Fraternity and Friendship with the Saharawi People, Houria Rachid, and MP Moussaoudja Mohamed.
"We have met a large delegation from the occupied Saharawi territories, composed mainly of activists, lawyers and victims of forced disappearance," Houria Rachid told APS.
