The incredible and terrifying story of Mohamedou Ould Slahi, arrested in 2001 in his home country Mauritania and from there taken to the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. A nightmare of denied rights and arbitrary detention recounted in his book Guantanamo Diary (published in 2015, edited by Larry Siems), the first inside account of life in the prison. Now finally you can listen to live testimony from Mohamedou, who was released in October 2016 after 15 years of detention. Fifteen years without charge, in the name of security and of the fight against terrorism.
