Members of Moroccan police have burnt, the day before yesterday, the Sahrawi citizen Saidi Salek




Who was tortured during his arrest with the presence of the police commissioner in the Sahrawi capital Al Ayoun, and that petrol was poured on him and got burnt.

According to the victim family, the two police officers, Hamid Bahri and Bouricha Mouloud, a commissioner in the Moroccan intelligence, were running the questioning, before fire was set in the victim, who was transported to Aghadir hospital, who is in intense care there.

In a declaration to El Khabar, Sahrawi sources declared that Saidi was arrested by the Moroccan police the night of Saturday, alongside with other Sahrawi citizens, and accused them to hold up the Sahrawi flag and the chanting of slogan supporting the independence of the Western Sahara during a wedding ceremony. The family of the victim wasn’t allowed to approach him before being taken to the hospital, and testimonies say the third of his body was burnt.

In a continuing context, political prisoners who were being kept in the prison were imprisoned again. These prisoners are Twalbi Elhafed and Abdellah Abbah and other two Sahrawi citizens that their identities are not known. It is worth saying that from the beginning of the Sahrawi upraising in May 2005, many citizens were killed by the police, while hundreds others were injured.
