Monsieur le Président,
Une fois de plus, France libertés ne may renew the urgent request that the Council of human rights take hold again the question of Western Sahara. This is even more pressing than the serious situation suffered by the Saharawi civil population has been confirmed by recent events. Allow me to extend our application with some facts: arbitrary arrests, torture and ill-treatment, unfair trials, restrictions on freedom of expression, association and circulation.Toutes these violations of human rights, regularly denounced before this Council and special procedures, continue to against the civilian population and human rights of non-autonomous territory of the Sahara Occidental.Ainsi in recent weeks, many cases of repression have been denounced by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and other organizations of human rights man. On 5 August, a group of 6 young Saharawi El Aaiun, 17, 24, were prevented from traveling to Britain at the airport of Agadir, as they were in possession of their visa to attend a meeting organized by the organization "Talk togheter" to discuss with other young Sahrawi refugee camps, youth and young Moroccans in Norway and Great Britain of the future of the region, in full violation of Article 12 of International Covenant on Civil and politiques.D Moreover, the 8 young Moroccan guests could not also from the Casablanca airport. As noted by Amnesty International, "the refusal of the Moroccan authorities is part of a broader series of measures imposed by the Moroccan government to restrict the legitimate exercise of freedom of expression on issues deemed politically sensitive, as the role and status of the monarchy, national security and the status of Western Sahara. "Mr. President, During the summer, unfair trial have yet occurred, condemning Sahrawi human rights. He and so for Mohamed Yahya, who was sentenced on appeal on June 24 to 15 years in prison along with 10 others sentenced to 4 years in prison and a suspended sentence for misdemeanor & demonstration. But for the lawyer and human rights, Naama Asfari, condemned 27 August to 4 months imprisonment by the trial court in Tan Tan. The defendants were not entitled to safeguards under the instruments international human and civil rights policies and rules in minima.Et yet these days, between 15 and 19 September, peaceful demonstrations in El Aiun, Boujdour and Smara, were violently suppressed, causing dozens of injuries and numerous arrests, summary trials and convictions arbitrary heavy.
Thank you
