Mauritania: ordinary detention

Mohamed B. is from Sierra Leone. He moved to Mauritania at the end of 2017. He is 20 years old and faced a police check. He was arrested and placed in custody for lack of proper documentation. He spent one week there.

He told his story to Planète Réfugiés-droits de l’homme.

The nights were horrible, we had nothing. I slept on the bare floor.
