Rabat (Morocco), 25/04/2006 (SPS)

They "reaffirmed the Saharawi people’s right to self-determination an independence", asking the Moroccan Government "to account for the Saharawi disappeareds", the same texts indicated.

The Saharawi students also "denounced the torture of the Saharawi political prisoners, Dedi Mahmoud, Bachir Hmada and Moussaoui Ahmed, as well as their transfer to prisons with criminals" in the Carcel Negra of El Aaiun, at the eve of the release of 38 Saharawi political prisoners last Saturday.

They further, "rejected the preposition of autonomy declared by Morocco and all other solutions that do not respect the Saharawi people’s right to self-determination".

They finally interpellated all international organisations to "exercise pressures on Morocco, so as to conform to the international legality and respect the Human rights in the Western Sahara".
