Categories: Popular Post, One month, First Post!, Two Posts, Middle East & North Africa, Morocco

saad of The World from Rabat reports that some 30 prisoners, who have been on hunger strike for almost two months in Western Sahara [1], have agreed to take food again [2]. They ended their hunger strike because of their families’ fears for their lives, the Moroccan Human Rights Association (AMDH) said. Most of the prisoners were arrested in the anti-Moroccan [3] riots in May in the main Western Sahara town of Laayoune [4].
