Action of the Month
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.
Please take part in this
Amnesty Action.
