Mauritania fully outlawed slavery in 2007 but has systematically failed
to end it in practice. It has fallen to activists like Biram to fight
for people’s’ freedom and they face regular harassment and harsh
treatment in their campaigning. It has now been weeks since Biram and his fellow activists’ arrest: let’s not wait any longer to get them out of prison and back to fighting against slavery.Thank you to Farideh, one of our members, for sending us the link to this ONLINE PETITION from Walk Free (not an Amnesty International organization).
