Rabat: A Moroccan military tribunal on Wednesday postponed indefinitely the trial of 23 Sahrawis implicated in the killing of security forces members during clashes in the Western Sahara two years ago.
The clashes in which 13 people were killed, all but two from the security forces, broke out as the forces moved to dismantle the Gdim Izik camp near Laayoune, the territory’s main city, in November 2010, the authorities say.
The 23 Sahrawis were arrested during the unrest, and are accused of “assassinations” as well as taking part in an “unauthorised gathering” and “damaging public property.”
