The Morning Call
Two journalists have been in detention in Mauritania’s capital Nouakchott and authorities have not given the reasons leading to their arrests. Local media reports indicate that a complaint was lodged against them by a relative of President Ould Abdel Aziz that could have led to their arrest on August 8.
Journalists in the country are now demanding for an explanation and the immediate release of their two colleagues.
