Dajla (occupied territories), 30/05/2006 (SPS)
The arrested young men are: Mohamed Ali Mohamed, Cheikh Mani, El Machdhoufi Mohamed Ali and Ali Mohamed Mouhimad (18 years old). The latter’s family house was ransacked by the Moroccan forces of repression, who threatened the hole family.
In the occupied city, Smara, two children, Zeini Ali Lansar and Ben Charkaoui Mohamed, were arrested by the Moroccan police for having participated in a demonstration organised by Saharawi youth to advocate the elf-determination of the Saharawi people and ask for the "immediate withdrawal" of the Moroccan occupation from the Western Sahara.
The two victims, respectively 6 years and 8 years old, were led by the Moroccan police to a police station in the city where they were submitted "to all forms of physical and moral torture", according to their families.
The families of the Saharawi victims, supported by dozens Saharawi citizens, organised a sit-in in front of the police station where the two kids are detained, calling for their immediate release.
The Moroccan forces of occupation finally released the two kids to "avoid the explosion of the situation", the same sources indicated.
In the occupied city of Bojador, five Saharawi students were « abusively » dismissed from school. The Moroccan authorities drove them outside the city and warned them not to try to get in again, the same source added.
The students are: Tarfaoui Abdelftah, Jamaii Abderrahmane, El Kouthar El Kentaoui, Ngueiguiz Ahmed and Toumana el Fatr.
On another hand, a Saharawi citizen, Dedi Abdallahi, was arrested last Sunday in Tantan city (South of Morocco) after demonstrations organised Saturday and Sunday to reject the Moroccan occupation of the Western Sahara and to reaffirm that "the Polisario Front is the only legitimate representative of the Saharawi people".
