El-Aaiun (Occupied Territories), June 12, 2017 (SPS) – Moroccan occupying forces brutally dispersed protesters, who staged a peaceful demonstration in the occupied city of El-Aaiun on Saturday to express their solidarity with Sahrawi political prisoners and denounce the occupation policies in the region, said sources from El-Aaiun.
The brutal intervention left scores injured, some of them seriously injured were rushed to hospital, said the sources.
The peaceful protest follows a call launched by human rights activists, politicians and trade unionists in solidarity with all Sahrawi political prisoners.
Last Friday, the Moroccan occupying forces arrested three Sahrawi activists in the occupied city of Boujdour for having participated in a peaceful protest claiming the right to self-determination.
