Mauritanian authorities should immediately release an editor who has served his prison term in its entirety, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
The refusal to free Hanevy Ould Dehah, editor of the online publication Taqadoumy, appears to be unlawful and reflective of the politically motivated nature of the case.
And:
After returning from a visit to the US, he was arrested in June without a warrant and then sentenced to six months in jail for publishing an article by a woman calling for greater sexual freedom.
So he basically got arrested for allowing a Mauritanian express herself. How absurd!
