Allégation de torture et de mauvais traitements par les forces de sécurité. Selon les

par des personnes sahraouies afin de protester contre leurs conditions sociales et
économiques. Le 8 novembre 2010, les forces de sécurité marocaines auraient
démantelé le camp, ce qui aurait conduit à un affrontement violent dans la ville d„ElAyoun entre les résidents du camp et les forces de sécurité. Cet affrontement aurait
entraîné la mort de 11 membres des forces de l„ordre et de 2 civils. Quelque 300
personnes auraient été détenues. Des personnes sahraouies auraient fait l„objet d„actes
de torture et de mauvais traitements lors du démantèlement du camp, durant leur
arrestation et leur détention.
