37. 来文方指出，其中一些学生是知名人权活动人士，而且其中一人，即 El Hafidi先生曾经是政治犯。在摩洛哥学习的撒哈拉学生受到同学、教师和当局的歧视和骚扰。摩洛哥警察经常搜查他们的宿舍，毁坏他们的财产，在撒哈拉学生当中制造恐惧气氛。因此，学生们成立了学生组织或学生委员会来举行示威活动。在其中一次示威活动中，一人死亡，这批学生都被认定犯有故意致死的暴力罪。
37. The source notes that some members of the group of students are well-known human rights activists and that one of them, Mr. El Hafidi, is a former political prisoner. Saharans who study in Morocco are subjected to discrimination and harassment by fellow students, professors and the administration. The Moroccan police often raid their rooms and destroy their property, creating a climate of fear among Saharan students. The students therefore set up student organizations and committees that hold demonstrations. During one such demonstration, one person died and the members of the group of students were all found guilty of violence intentionally causing death.
