Three Saharawi trade unionists, Mrs. Moutik Khadija, Mrs. Bouda Aziza
and Mrs. Esghir Attifa, were arrested and brutalised by the Moroccan
authorities of repression after a demonstration organised in Goulmine
because they "protested against the visit of the king of Morocco to
their city and demanded the immediate release of Saharawi political
prisoners", recalled a trustworthy source to SPS.
"The three Saharawi women were arrested in October the 5th at 11.00 GMT
in Goulimine after a sit-in organised earlier in front of the seat of
the governor of Goulimine. The police resumed to violence to disperse
the demonstrators with truncheons injuring dozens", the same source
added.
The three activists, who had participated the day before (Tuesday the
4th) to another demonstration, which was organised to express the
rejection by Saharawis of the visit undertaken by the king of Morocco
to
the city, were insulted and clapped during their arrest".
Khadija Moutik, it should be recalled, was abusively fired from her
work
last September the 12th 2005 because of her trade unionist activities
and defence of human rights. (SPS)
