They are reportedly being held in Sale Prison in Rabat. They were arrested on 11 May 1995 following a peaceful demonstration in Laayoune in support of the Polisario Front. After having allegedly been tortured in pre-trial detention, they were convicted of threatening the external security and territorial integrity of the country.
