The Moroccan government has said that ten of it's police officers have been killed in attacks by Sahrawi separatists this week.
The claim comes a week after Moroccan security forces attacked a protest camp in the occuppied territory, killing at least 35 pro-Sahrawi demonstrators. It is understood that at least 160 demonstrators have also been arrested and imprisoned.
The Polisario Front separatist group said the protest was meant to be peaceful, but was attacked by security forces. They went on to say that many protesters had no other option but to defend themselves by force. It is unclear how the policemen were killed however it has been reported by Spanish media that at least one of the police officers had his throat slashed while attempting to detain a protester.
