Tamek warns about a possible "assassination" of Aminetou Haidar after her return to El Aaiun
The Saharawi human rights activist, Alí Salem Tamek, warned in
a statement to "La Verdad de Canarias" that his compatriot, Aminetou
Haidar, who is undertaking a turn in Europe since last May, may be "assassinated"
when she will return to the occupied capital of the Western Sahara, El Aaiun.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Spain), 07/06/2006 (SPS) Mr. Tamek launched an appeal to all democratic forces and international human rights organisations, to double the efforts for the protection of Aminetou Haidar.
Answering a question related to the Spanish Government’s change of position vis-à-vis of the conflict in the Western Sahara, Mr. Tamek stressed that the current silence of the Moncloa is a way to encourage Rabat to continue its repression and violating of the Saharawi people’s rights.
Mr. Tamek stressed the historic and cultural ties between the two peoples, Saharawi and Canrian, adding that "the support of the Canaries people all along the last years will remain in the collective memory of the Saharawi people, thing that the Canarian Government can not ignore". (SPS)
