A group of 57 Sahrawis, including 18 women and 11 children, has recently escaped the Tindouf camps, south-western Algeria, and joined their homeland, Morocco.

Former Spanish soldiers expressed Thursday in Rabat, their support for the Moroccan autonomy proposal, describing as the “most applicable” the Moroccan project to settle the Sahara issue.

Polisario has a dark record in terms of human rights violations in the Tindouf camps, in the past and the present, "said the Algerian intellectual, Anwar Malik, stating that Algeria has a great responsibility morally and legally in these violations because it houses Polisario on its land.

Forty-nine Sahrawis arrived during the last two days in the area of Oued Eddahab-Lagouira, from Tindouf camps (Algerian territory) which they fled to join the motherland, Morocco.

Polisario's security forces launched a wave of arrests against the Sahrawis held against their will in Tindouf camps, south-western Algeria, Laayoune's regional TV reported on Thursday.
