FOS-Bukraa workers appeal to MINURSO to intercede to settle their cases :

06/09/2010: Dozens of arrested and expelled Saharawis from FOS-Bukraa Company in the occupied city of El Aaiun have appealed to the UN mission in Western Sahara (MINURSO) to urgently intercede with the Moroccan Government for the actual settlement of their files.
In a statement Monday, the UPES site received a copy of it, the FOS-Bukraa Company workers denounced a violent repression of a protest that they organized in the occupied city of El Aaiun, holding the Moroccan administration responsible for the miserable situation which Saharawis live in the territory. 

The Moroccan forces of occupation violently intervened to prevent the peaceful demonstration called for by Sahrawi Confederation for Saharawi Workers, which called on the UN Secretary General and the international community to urgently intervene to protect Saharawi workers and citizens and enable them to their confiscated rights. 

The statement demanded the settlement of their seized rights according to the contract concluded between Saharawi workers and the Spanish company, involvement of the UN mission to facilitate settling the file and applying pressure on the Moroccan Government in this regard, and compelling Morocco to respect international treaties and conventions by the international community.

It appreciated the increased international support for the Saharawi workers’ file and saluted solidarity of Saharawi marginalized groups with them.
