Rabat – The Spanish National Court has upheld the indictment of a pro-Polisario woman accused of promoting terror acts against Morocco.
In a report on Monday, the website Diario de Mallorca indicated that the woman was indicted for sending encouraging terrorism online.
“She is part of a family with a history of links to terrorist organizations and one of her brothers is reported to have died in a violent incident in Morocco,” the report said.
Meanwhile, Moroccan news outlet Le360 quoted investigators as saying that searches at the woman’s house uncovered the extent of her terro-sympathizing engagement on social media platforms like Telegram.
The investigation critically established indications of attempts to acquire suspicious, terror-linked materials, including explosive vests, according to the Moroccan website.
The court’s decision comes a month after Polisario’s latest terrorist attacks against Morocco’s southern provinces.
The separatist group’s most recent attacks targeted a ceremony celebrating the 49th anniversary of the Green March in the southern Moroccan city of Mahbes on November 9, stirring uproar and frustration about its ongoing hostilities and terror attacks targeting civilians.
The Polisario attack is a flagrant violation of the 1991 UN-brokered ceasefire and efforts to end the Western Sahara dispute on the basis of an agreed and mutually acceptable solution.
Last year in October, the separatist group also launched a terrorist attack in Es-Semara in southern Morocco, killing one and injuring three others.
Despite repeated calls and resolutions by the UN seeking to broker a compromise-based and politically realistic solution to the Sahara dispute, the Polisario has largely clung to its hostile maneuvers aimed at undermining Morocco’s territorial integrity.
The group is notably backed by the Algerian regime, which finances, arms, hosts, and supports its independence claims over Morocco’s southern provinces.
