After the military occupation of Western Sahara in 1976, Moroccan government attacked the civil population with hard repression, forcing hundreds of Saharan people to âdisappearâ in clandestine jails. An invisible and slow death was the only horizon. However, some prisoners were able to survive after suffering their own âextinctionâ for more tan 10 years, ripped from their families, suffering torture, in total isolation. When they finally were released, their known world had changed radically.
