Page 8 The situation following the storming of the Camp has deteriorated due to Morocco’s repressive policy which has paralysed human rights related activities in the occupied Sahrawi cities including the right of association, freedom of expression, assembly and movement, as well as access by the international observers to the region to observe the human rights situation characterised by unfair treatment, silence about torture and lack of investigation into the cases of Sahrawi detainees despite the statements they made before the judiciary. The tempo of media assault by Morocco intensified represented by the official News Agency and other partisan and independent agencies as well as the chauvinistic tone of official and partisan statements of Parliamentary Groups. leaders of the political parties and The Anti-Sahrawi propaganda also included Moroccan associations, trade unions and Bar Association in Casablanca, all this because the Sahrawis dare demand for their right to self-determination. The socio-economic situation of the Sahrawis coupled with the continued looting of the national resources of Western Sahara worsened before the initiation of the European Moroccan dialogue on granting Morocco the status of partner with the European Union, by which Morocco will be under obligation to respect human rights and reform its judiciary. As a result of the non-implementation of the recommendations contained in the reports of the various international rights organizations calling for respect for the human rights of the Sahrawi people:  A mission of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights visited the region in 2006;  A fact Finding Missions by the European Union visited the region in 2002, 2006 and 2009;  Reports by international Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International etc. against torture were released.
