Morocco: Seven activists from Western Sahara waiting for trial

Seven activists are facing charges of threatening Morocco's "internal security" in connection with their peaceful and legitimate activities in support of the self-determination of Western Sahara. All of them are released on bail but the risk of being convicted remains serious.
Amnesty International believes that the activities undertaken by the seven activists merely amount to the peaceful and legitimate exercise of their rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly as guaranteed in international law and standards. The organization fears that the charges are a result of the seven activists' legitimate activities in support of the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara.
