The Mauritanian tells the story of Mohamedou Ould Salahi, who spent 14 years in the notorious American military detention centre at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he was tortured into giving a false confession but never charged with a crime.
Why was Mohamedou Ould Slahi imprisoned?
Salahi was held under the authority of the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), enacted on September 18, 2001. ... The U.S. government alleged he was part of al Qaeda at the time of his arrest in November 2001.
Did the Mauritanian get compensation?
He was given no apology, no compensation; a medical officer simply said, “760, I declare you fit to fly,” and he was marched blindfolded and earmuffed on to a military plane, just as he had been when first taken there. In some ways the torture continues.
