Dakhla (Occupied Territories) April 14, 2014 (SPS) – The Sahrawi citizens in the occupied city of Dakhla organized Saturday a peaceful demonstration to demand the expansion of the mandate of the United Nations mission for the Referendum in the Western Sahara (MINURSO) to include the monitoring of human rights, according to the Ministry of the Occupied Territories and Community Abroad.
The Moroccan forces intervened brutally to disperse the demonstrators, leaving several injuries, most of which are classified as "serious," said the source.
The demonstrators expressed their commitment to the inalienable right to self-determination and independence of the Saharawi people and called for the release of all Saharawi political prisoners languishing in Moroccan prisons, it added. (SPS)
