El Aaiun (occupied Territories) — A group of Saharawi students of Al-Khansaa's primary school, occupied city of El Aaiun, organized peaceful vigils to demanded a UN observer status for Western Sahara, as the Palestinian state, and to call for the right of Saharawi people to self-determination, informed a Saharawi rights source.

Moroccan occupying forces violently intervened against them, the source said.
