The court of first instance in the occupied city of El Aaiun sentenced the Saharawi student and prisoner of conscience, Abderahman Ezzeouani, to two months suspended imprisonment for his opinions in favour of the independence of Western Sahara, according to CODESA reports.

Abderahman Ezzeouani was arrested on September 13th in Trfaya city (100 Km North El Aaiun) and transferred to the capital of Western Sahara (El Aaiun) to be charged for “insulting the sacred symbols of Morocco”.

Abderahman Ezzeouani is a -3rd year Frensh Litterature- student at the University in Rabat, Morocco.

The day of his trial, the Moroccan authorities sealed the tribunal in El Aaiun, preventing people, ex-political prisoners and human rights defenders from attending this iniquitous trial.

Abderrahman Ezzeouani, denounced the brutality and mistreatment he received by the Gendarmerie in Tarfaya city and all along the way to El Aaiun during his transfer.

During the trial he considered that he was sentenced for his contribution to the peaceful struggle of his people for a free homeland.
