Mohamedou Ould Slahi | Cambridge Union
Mauritian author and Guantanamo Bay detainee
Event took place, Tuesday 8th March, 6.00 p.m.
............................................................................................................................
Mohamedou was born in Rosso, Mauritania. In 2001, he was detained and renditioned to a black site in Jordan where he was tortured, then transported to Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan and finally to Guantanamo Bay. While there, he wrote a diary. The manuscript, which he penciled in his isolation cell, was finally released with substantial redactions in 2013. It was first published in the United States and United Kingdom in January 2015 and has since been published in twenty-five languages. This year, the film “The Mauritanian”, featuring his imprisonment and eventual release, directed by Kevin Macdonald, and starring Jodie Foster, Benedict Cumberbatch and Tahar Rahim, was released to exceptional acclaim.
