Dear Ambassador:

I welcome the release of bloggers Cheikh Ouid Jiddou and
Aberrahmane Weddady who were freed on bail on 3 June.

These two bloggers were arbitrarily arrested on 22 March by the economic crimes police in Nouakchott. This occurred after they posted comments on Facebook condemning corruption. Their comments came after media articles were published alleging that some Mauritanian officials had acquired wealth illegally and stashed it abroad.

They were detained by the economic crimes police until the 27 March, when they were taken to the prosecutor of West Nouakchott for questioning. Afterwards they were transferred to the Central prison of Nouakchott.

Despite their release, the two bloggers are still facing the charge of 'malicious accusation'. Also, the economic crimes police are holding their travel documents and national identification cards which they confiscated on 7 March.

I urge you to drop the charge against Cheikh Ouid Jiddou and Abderrahmane Waddady as they stem only from the peaceful exercise of their rights to freedom of expression. Their travel documents and identification documents need to be returned. The right to freedom of expression needs to be fully respected, protected and fulfilled in Mauritania.

Yours sincerely,

Margaret M. Guzzardo
Dear Ambassador,
The release of bloggers Cheikh Ould Jiddou and Abderrahmane Weddady freed on bail on 3 June, was a welcome event.
They were arbitrarily arrested on 22 March by the economic crimes police in Nouakchott - after they posted comments on Facebook condemning corruption. Their comments came after the media had published articles alleging some Mauritanian officials had acquired wealth illegally and stashed it abroad.
These bloggers were detained by the economic crimes police until 27 March, when they were taken to the prosecutor of West Nouakchott for questioning. Afterwards, they were transferred to the Central prison of Nouakchott.
Despite their release, the two bloggers are still facing the charge of ‘malicious accusation’. Also, the economic crimes police have kept their travel documents and national identification cards which they confiscated on 7 March.
I urge you to ensure that: the charges against Cheikh Ould Jiddou and Abderrahmane Weddady are dropped (as they stem solely from their peaceful exercise of freedom of expression), their travel and identification documents are returned to them, and the right to freedom of expression is fully respected, protected and fulfilled in Mauritania.
Yours sincerely,

Your Excellency,

I am concerned about the arrest of bloggers Cheikh Ould Jiddou and Abderrahmane Weddady.
The two bloggers were arbitrarily arrested on 22 March by the economic crimes police in Nouakchott. This is after they posted comments on Facebook condemning corruption. Their comments came after media articles were published alleging that some Mauritanian officials had acquired wealth illegally and stashed it abroad.

They were detained by the economic crimes police until 27 March, when they were taken to the prosecutor of West Nouakchott for questioning. Afterwards, they were transferred to the Central prison of Nouakchott. They have been charged with ‘malicious accusation’.
Previously, the two had been questioned over the Facebook comments by the economic crimes police on 7 March and had their national ID cards and passports confiscated after the questioning.

I urge you to ensure that Cheikh Ould Jiddou and Abderrahmane Weddady are immediately and unconditionally released as they have been detained solely for peacefully exercising their right to freedom expression; their identification documents are returned to them immediately; the right to freedom of expression is fully respected, protected, promoted and fulfilled in Mauritania.

Yours sincerely,

Andrew L. Irwin
