Brussels, 2nd April 2003

Your Excellency,

 

We would like to draw your attention to the case of Mr Mohamed Daddach (winner of RAFTO Foundation prize of human rights in 2002) and other twelve Saharawis. It has come to our knowledge that the delegation of members of families of disappeared Saharawis and human rights defenders coming from the territories of Western Sahara were prevented, on 27th March, by the Moroccan authorities from boarding their flight to Geneva.

All of them were in possession of valid passports and visas for Switzerland in order to take part in a meeting of families of disappeared Saharawis. They also have accreditations for the access to the annual United Nations Human Rights Commission.

The Moroccan authorities confiscated their passports, their plane tickets as well as videos with testimonies and other personal documents.

We express our deep concern about this situation, which we consider a gross violation of individual and human rights.

We would like to urge you to ask the Moroccan authorities to return immediately the passports, plane tickets and other confiscated documents to the members of the Saharawi delegation so that they may be able to leave for Geneva and take part in the on-going works of the Human Rights Commission, as was planned.

Sincerely,
