People in Tindouf camps 'are indeed held' by Polisario, diplomat 3/6/2008
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.

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.
