After returning from Laayoune, where they witnessed the Moroccan regime's repression against the Saharawi population, NGO activists Thawra, the Extremadura and the Canary Javier Sopena Silvia Garcia, has said that "the intifada in the streets has been stopped and what is experienced now is a state of siege. "
In a press conference in Madrid, Soper spoke about the heavy hand that is applying Morocco against the Saharawi. "They are looking for people. Sahrawis are kidnapping and detention and torture there," said the activist. For its part, has told Garcia he could see several friends Sahrawi "beaten with batons and kicked." The young activist has said that, despite everything, "the Saharawi were well organized because they knew that would happen, as in the Canary Islands Polisario delegation warned the day before the Moroccan army's attack on the camp."
Garcia took the opportunity to ask the Spanish government to condemn what is happening in Laayoune. Soper, however, rejected the attitude of the government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero: "I care little Spanish Government's position. It is not consistent and not a government is able to hold anything. We do not need anything from the government." As for the position of PP, both said that the Sahara has always been a bargaining chip to win votes, and often have a position until they reach the Government.
Soper does not believe that this situation leads to an uprising of the Sahrawi people and stressed their lack of protection against Moroccan repression. "From the occupied territories armed struggle is not feasible because there are no weapons. Weapons are only Moroccans," he explained.
Both activists who have spoken have told for the last time yesterday morning, to Isabelle Terrace and Mexican Antonio Velazquez, the two activists are in hiding in Laayoune. "We have not talked much for security. The phones are tapped. Both Isabel and Antonio are very scared," said Garcia.
"Screams in the night"
Meanwhile, Mexican pro-Sahrawi activist Antonio Velazquez has provided more details about the situation in Laayoune, where, in his words, the nights are quiet and suddenly heard shouts and screams.
Speaking to Radio La Autonomous collected Canary, Antonio Velazquez has insisted that "the Moroccan forces are killing an entire population", and believes that, unfortunately, end up in a war that "will be thrown away 35 years peaceful resistance of the Saharawi people ", and everything he says," because they were not heard in time. "
Antonio Velazquez Spanish and activist Isabel Terrace are in a house in Laayoune and fear for their lives but remember that the situation is worse for the Saharawi, so the input demand organizations defending human rights and Cross Red.
Antonio Velazquez and Elizabeth Terrace what is happening in Western Sahara is a genocide. Expect a call from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trinidad Jimenez, who, said Antonio Vazquez, last week told they had to leave. Recognize that it is nice to continue in Laayoune, but they agreed that they must endure in a humanitarian emergency.
Antonio Velazquez said he can not go out, so to understand what happens hear the sounds of the city, but say they have also seen very strong things that can not say because it would mark the place where they hide .
"Corpses in the streets"
"You bear a lifetime with this, and what we live is nothing" compared to thousands of Sahrawi living for more than 35 years, said Antonio Vazquez, who said they saw corpses on the street.
As for the attitude of the Spanish Government, Antonio Velasquez said it's "inhumane" because "unfortunately puts economic interests far above human rights, and clearly does not care about dead Sahrawi."
Isabel Terrace acknowledged that they feared for their lives, but more for the extermination of the Saharawi people, saying that the days pass and the "police squads continue to torture, and many die from this torture."
