Many lives endangered by the lack of an impartial investigation into the death of a Saharawi student 

The death of a renowned Saharawi student leader shows a lack of will on the part of the Moroccan government to protect those who defend the rights of Saharawi students in Moroccan universities.

Four months and 15 days after the disappearance of Adnan Rahali, Moroccan authorities contacted his family on 2 May to notify them that their son’s body had been found in the student residence of the university of Agadir, Morocco, where thousands of students live.

“After such a long time, almost 5 months, we don’t know how the Moroccan authorities have recognised Adnan’s body so easily and without having to take samples from his family for the DNA analysis. This type of analysis is the only way to determine the identity of the body”, commented a relative of the victim.
