Saharawi President, Mohamed Abdelaziz said Sunday in a letter to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon that Morocco maintains its blockade to the occupied territories of Western Sahara and "continues" serious violations of human rights, the Sahrawi news agency (SPS) reported.
The Saharawi president denounced, in his letter, systematic expulsions of international observers by preventing them from contacting Sahrawi citizens and activists, recalling "the expulsion on September 11 of a delegation of Spanish independent observers and another delegation from the Basque country."
He also recalled the expulsion "on September 10th of French Christelle Letard" stressing that these delegations, expelled since last April, only wanted to "inquire" about the situation of human rights in the occupied territories of Western Sahara.
President Abdelaziz said the continuation by Morocco of its policy of "systematic expulsions" of international observers aims at concealing "its serious violations of human rights.
Saharawi President also reminded Ban Ki-moon of the content of his reports as UN Secretary General and the reports of the Security Council, which stressed the need for an independent and neutral international mechanism to report human rights violations in Western Sahara.
