On his side, Mr. Daddach asked the Spanish Government “not to align the Moroccan autonomy proposal backed by France as the only solution to the conflict of Western Sahara and to defend human rights in the Saharawi territories occupied by Morocco."
During the ceremony the attendance enjoyed a film relating the serious human rights violations committed by the Moroccan state in the occupied territories of Western Sahara and testimonies of victims of the repression inflicted on the Saharawi human rights activists in occupied territories of Western Sahara.
