Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 3 July 2015 (SPS) - The Saharawi mother Tekbar Heddi, has resumed Friday protest in front of Moroccan Consulate in Las Palmas, the Canary Islands, to demand justice for his son killed by Moroccan settlers in the occupied city of El Aaiun, Western Sahara .

 

 

The Sahrawi mother confirmed the police forced her to withdraw the photo exhibition of her son from the street and asked to leave the place, according to EFE.

 

She said that she felt strong enough to resume the hunger strike once Ramadan ends.

 

“Nothing hurts, only my heart that does,” explained Tekbar Heddi, who returned Thursday from Geneva, where she told her story and that of her son in the UN Human Rights Council.

 

Tekbar Heddi had ended June 19, a hunger strike that lasted 36 days, after being hospitalized for having vomited blood and doctors advised her to suspend her fast. (SPS)
