The 15 students were arrested in the first months of 2016.

They were all mistreated and tortured by the Moroccan police during their interrogations. Many have started hunger strikes in protest against this mistreatment and the lack of a real investigation to know the causes of the death of a Moroccan civilian during one of their peaceful demonstrations.

Their trial in the first instance was postponed 12 times; for the most part, they remained detained without trial for 501 days far beyond what Moroccan law allows.

The session of February 13, 2018 of their appeal trial was marked by the impediment of families to attend the meeting (except the last minutes), despite the public nature of these hearings.

The appeal process has been postponed to March 13, 2018 at the request of three Saharawi lawyers who will now defend the students.
