茅利塔尼亞｜牢中囚犯被綁架失蹤

聲援對象：14位囚犯
聲援期間：2012年5月～6月

2011年5月23日晚上，關在Nouakchott 中央監獄的14位囚犯，遭情治人員帶走，至今下落不明。一位獄友表示：「蒙面的情治人員凌晨3點闖進來，手上拿著一份名單，一個一個叫名字…然後把這些犯人帶走。大家都不知道怎麼回事。」

被帶走的囚犯中有些是死刑犯，其他人被判5年到15年不等的徒刑。他們被綁架之前，國際特赦組織曾會見其中一些人，得知他們在被捕後曾遭到刑求或虐待。

他們的個人財物，包括書籍、毛毯和衣服，於2011年6月被送還家屬，但未說明原因。2011年11月，司法部長告訴國際特赦組織的代表，說這些人因為「安全理由」遭到隔離，但沒有進一步說明他們的下落。

請寫信給茅利塔尼亞總統，呼籲他說明這14位在2011年5月23日自Nouakchott中央監獄被移送到不明處所的囚犯的下落。他們的名字是：El Khadim Ould Semane、Sidi Ould Sidna、Mohamed Ould Chabarnou、Maarouf Ould Haiba、Mohamed Abdellahi Ould Ahmednah Ould Mohamed Salem、Mohamed Ould Abdou、Abderrahmane Ould Areda、Mohamed Ould Chbih、Amar Ould Mohamed Saleh、Taghi Ould Youssouf、Salem Ould Hemmod、Tiyeb Ould Saleck、Mohamed Mahmoud Ould Sebty dit Dahoud Sebty和Mohamed Khaled。請要求讓這些人聯絡家屬、律師，並得到所需的醫療照護。信件請寄：

Mauritania: 14 prisoners
Prisoners abducted from their cells

On the night of 23 May 2011, 14 prisoners were taken from their cells at the Central Prison in Nouakchott by security forces. They have not been seen since. A fellow prisoner said: “Security forces came at 3am; their faces were hidden and they had a list. They were calling out names one by one… and were asking the detainees to come with them. Nobody knew what was going on.”

Some of those abducted had been sentenced to death, while others were serving sentences of between five and 15 years. Amnesty International had met with most of the prisoners prior to their abduction, and had recorded that they were tortured or otherwise ill-treated in the first days of their detention.

Their personal belongings, including books, blankets and clothes, were returned to their families in June 2011 with no further explanation. In November 2011, the Minister of Justice told an Amnesty International delegation that the men had been isolated “for security reasons”. No further information has been provided about the men’s whereabouts.

Please write, calling for disclosure of the whereabouts of the 14 men who were moved from the Central Prison in Nouakchott to an undisclosed location on 23 May 2011. They are: El Khadim Ould Semane, Sidi Ould Sidna, Mohamed Ould Chabarnou, Maarouf Ould Haiba, Mohamed Abdellahi Ould Ahmednah Ould Mohamed Salem, Mohamed Ould Abdou, Abderrahmane Ould Areda, Mohamed Ould Chbih, Amar Ould Mohamed Saleh, Taghi Ould Youssouf, Salem Ould Hemmod, Tiyeb Ould Saleck, Mohamed Mahmoud Ould Sebty dit Dahoud Sebty and Mohamed Khaled. Urge that the men are given access to their families, lawyers and medical care. Send appeals to:
