Un journaliste, raflé lors d'une opération anti-islamistes, remis en liberté après trois jours de détention

Mohamed Mahmoud Ould Ebilmaali, rédacteur en chef du quotidien indépendant Akhbar Nouakchott, journaliste de la version arabe du quotidien Nouakchott-Info et correspondant local de la radio publique allemande Deutsche-Welle (DW), a été libéré le 21 mai 2005, après trois jours de détention. « La police voulait que je leur montre où se cache Jemil Ould Mansour. Elle voulait également se servir de moi pour retrouver les autres fugitifs, ce que j'ai catégoriquement refusé », a-t-il déclaré à l'Agence France-Presse (AFP) après sa libération.

MAURITANIA
Journalist who was detained in anti-Islamist raid is freed after three days


Mohamed Mahmoud Ould Ebilmaali, the editor of the independent daily Akhbar Nouakchott, was freed on 21 May after being held for three days. Following his release, he told Agence France-Presse that the police wanted him to show them the hiding place of Jemil Ould Mansour, an Islamist opposition leader he recently interviewed.

"They also wanted to use me to find other fugitives, which I flatly refused to do," added Ebilmaali, who also writes for the Arabic-language edition of the daily Nouakchott-Info and is a stringer for the German public radio station Deutsche-Welle.
