Page 7 The Moroccan authorities also prevented families of those arrested, victims who were fired at on 24 October 2010 and those admitted at the military hospital of El-Aaiun, from visiting them since 8 November 2010 according to reports received from those families. The story of the Gdein Izik Camp and the resultant blatant violation of their human and peoples rights, have led to:  Convening of the UN Security Council twice in a week to discuss the matter;  The storming of the Camp featured prominently and in an unprecedented manner, in the international and Spanish media;  A political debate took place in the Spanish Parliament and the intervention by the Moroccan forces was concluded whilst demand was made for accountability by the Spanish Prime Minister Rodrico Isapitero about the Spanish Government’s role in the raid;  The European Parliament met and decided to send a fact finding mission to the region;  Both Morocco and the Polisario were invited for their views to be heard by the European Parliament on what transpired at the Camp and the El-Aaiun events as well as the resultant violations;  There was condemnation by several International Organizations, political parties, trade unions, etc. All that was accompanied by a wave of outrage which pushed the majority of Moroccan officials into settling narrow chauvinist racist scores. A lot of arrests were made Sahrawis were kept for many years in the local prison of La Careel Negra, ElAaiun, Western Sahara, in addition to about 160 including the aged, and women whose families were left behind and children and pregnant women as well as 20 prisoners in Salé prison in Morocco.
