Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director at Human Rights Watch, the first independent observer who has managed to enter the area, has said in a telephone interview yesterday that during the research mission held for five days, unable to confirm the death of 10 soldiers Moroccan Sahrawi and two civilians. The eleventh lowest among members of the security forces was recorded after Bouckaert finish his mission.
The observer from Human Rights Watch has expressed its skepticism about the figure of 36 civilian deaths provided by the Polisario Front, as it has not found any evidence to support it. "The Moroccan military forces were disarmed when entering the camp," said Bouckaert. According to information gathered during their stay in the Sahara, the Moroccan military had no gun when he began the assault on the field of Agdaym Saharan Izik, where 20,000 people were camped for a month. Not so, according to the observer from Human Rights Watch, the attack was less violent. The testimony taken, and are the basis of the report that the organization published in the coming days, confirmed that Moroccan soldiers "beat several people in the field until they were unconscious." Investigations of the organization-to which, according to the director of emergency, Morocco did not realize obstacles, mass arrests by security forces after the assault on the camp and the abuses suffered by the arrested while in custody police.
According to Human Rights Watch, there are hundreds of people who have been brought before a civil court and at least seven or eight in Rabat facing a military trial. "We do not know how many people are detained and have not yet been brought before a judge," said Bouckaert, who called on the Moroccan authorities to investigate alleged abuses of detainees have been released and some prisoners in their statements to the judges. "We have reason to believe that abuses continue."
"The security forces were still searching for the leaders of the protests in the days when I was in Laayoune," said Bouckaert. The HRW representative has denied the accusation of Rabat in the camp that people were held hostage by militant radicals. He has also played down reports of pro-Sahrawi organizations that Laayoune is under siege. "Shops and offices are open and are slowly returning to normal." What has confirmed are the damage suffered by several Sahrawi citizens' homes, "Moroccan officials have visited several of the houses attacked by Moroccan civilians and offered compensation of between 1,500 and 30,000 dirhams [150 and 2,600 euros]."
