El Aaiun (Occupied Western Sahara) 09 may 2013 (SPS) .- A group of three Norwegians have been expelled from Western Sahara today, reported the website of Norwegian Support Commitee for Western Sahara. 

 
In a dispatch posted on its website, the committee reported that a group of three young Lise Resvold (24), Ingar Langli (28 years) and Matilde Uggerud (21 years), arrived Wednesday, May 8, 2013 to El Aaiun , capital of Western Sahara occupied by Morocco to report on violations of human rights in the Western Sahara territory.
 
"The stay lasted less than 24 hours," added the site indicating that "ten civilian dressed police officers at 09:00 AM local time today, 9 May 2013, showed up in the hotel where the three were staying. Now, two hours later, the group is in a civilian police car in direction Agadir, Morocco". 
 
"After we arrived Western Sahara yesterday, we have been constantly shadowned by the Moroccan police" stated Ingar Langli on phone conversation. 
 
"The Saharawis we met last night described serious violations after having participated in the demonstrations. It is a tragedy that this peaceful struggle do not get more attention. It is about time that Morocco allows international delegations freely visit the occupied territories", "she added.
