Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 20/06/205 (SPS) - The Spanish Commission for Aid to Refugee (CEAR) asked the UN to include "a mechanism for monitoring human rights" in the MINURSO mandate, to condemn "the violation of human rights by Morocco in the occupied territories of Western Sahara" and to support "the celebration of the referendum of self-determination claimed by the legitimate representatives of the Saharawi people", reported on Thusday the newspaper Canarias Semanal.
In its annual report, CEAR recalled that "a few meters from us there is a hunger strike since thirty-three days, taken by a Saharawi citizen who claim that Morocco, the illegitimate occupying power of Western Sahara, give her the body of her son, victim of an attack by settlers of this country and died in a moroccan prison in the occupied territories".
That's why - they pointed - we reiterate our demands:
To Moroccan regime:
- To carry out the demands of the family of Mohamed Lamin Haidala by delivering his body for a later independent research on the causes of his death.
- To respect the human rights of the Saharawi people.
To United Nations:
- To condemn the violation by Morocco of human rights in the occupied territories of Western Sahara.
- To include a mechanism for monitoring human rights in its mission in Western Sahara (MINURSO).
- To support celebration of the referendum of self-determination claimed by the legitimate representatives of the Sahrawi people.
It shoud be recalled that Ms. Takbar Haddi, the Saharawi mother who was claiming the autopsy of the corpse of her son suspended yesterday her hunger strike for health reasons. Various members of pro-sahrawi organizations and supporters of Ms. Haddi continue her hunger strike for 24-hour shifts, in an initiative launched yesterday in Seville by the leader of Podemos Andalusia, Teresa Rodriguez.
