The Sahrawi Group for Human Rights Defence (CSDDH) launched on Monday from Geneva, which was holding the 7th session of the Human Rights Council, an urgent appeal to the UN Secretary General and the international community to intervene in order to put an end to human rights violations by "Polisario", whose victims are sequestered in the Tindouf camps (southwestern Algeria). The Group also calls upon the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and human rights NGOs to "initiate an emergency surveys to discover the serious abuses that continue to be committed in the camps".

The National Security chief, Mr. Charki Draiss, received Thursday in Rabat, a delegation composed of nine representatives of the inhabitants of the province of Tan Tan, including members of the Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs (CORCAS), parliamentarians and local officials, who presented their heartfelt condolences following the assassination of policeman Abdelaziz Meski "Polisario" separatists in Tan Tan.  During the meeting, requested by the representatives of the inhabitants of the province, members of the delegation have requested Mr. Draiss to convey their deep condolences and sincere sympathy to the entire family of national security and the deceased family,

Morocco's ambassador to the UN Geneva office, Mohammed Loulichki, insisted that the population in the Tindouf camps (southwestern Algeria) is indeed held, by Polisario, against its will. "I say it and I insist," stressed the Moroccan diplomat, before the Human Rights Council (HRC), in response to a statement made by the Algerian ambassador who spoke earlier. "They are held, because they cannot move, because there is a double military belt, that of the Polisario and that of the Algerian army around the camps," he said.

Morocco cannot keep silent about the precarious and inhuman conditions in which scores of Moroccan Sahrawis, held against their will in the Polisario-run Tindouf camps, southwest Algeria, are kept, a situation that compels a good number of them to defy all dangers to return home, Visiting Minister of Justice Abdelouahed Radi said on Monday.  Addressing the 7th session of the Human Rights Council (HRC), Mr. Radi made it clear that Morocco has proposed its initiative for negotiating an autonomy status for the Sahara region to facilitate their return with dignity.

Morocco stressed on Friday it shall not allow any change of the status quo, nor any accomplished fact in the Tifariti buffer zone set up at the east of the Defense wall built by Morocco to prevent any attacks by the Algeria-backed Polisario separatists movement "Polisario".
