Release the freedom fighter and human rights activist Biram Dah Abeid.
The 2013 UN Human Rights Prize recipient Biram Dah Abeid has been arbitrarily detained by the Mauritanian authorities since August 13th 2018. Mr Abeid is a candidate for the September 2018 legislative elections and candidate for the upcoming presidential elections. For many analysts he remains the main challenger for the incumbent party to win the presidency.
Nominated among the « 100 most influential people in the world » by Time Magazine in 2017, Mr Abeid inspires thousands of enslaved men, women and children in Mauritania and around the world. The human right activist is also known for fighting for justice along side with hundreds of windows and orphans who lost their loved ones during the ethnic cleansing orchestrated by the authoritarian regime of Ould Taya in late 80s and early 90s.
