Nouakchott (AFP) - A Mauritanian court on Thursday upheld a two-year prison sentence against three anti-slavery activists who were arrested during a protest against bondage in the west African nation.

Biram Ould Dah Ould Abeid, runner-up in the 2014 presidential elections and head of the Initiative for the Resurgence of the Abolitionist Movement (IRA), was jailed in January alongside two other activists.

"From my dark cell I urge them to mobilise all legal and diplomatic means, including the suspension of all financial aid, to push the government to take real action to eradicate slavery as well as the racism and exclusion underlying it," he wrote.


Wow, and SOME people in the special snowflake grievance industry are still trying to make White Americans feel guilty for slavery.  How 'bout focusing on REALITY today, just like the feminazis ought to fight against the Muslim treatment of women.

Sneaking into a country doesn't make you an immigrant any
more than breaking into someone's house makes you part of the family.
