The Mauritanian
About
Based on Mohamedou Ould Slahi's best-selling memoir “Guantánamo Diary”, this is the story of his fight for freedom after being detained and imprisoned without charge by the U.S. Government. Alone and afraid, Slahi finds allies in defence attorney Nancy Hollander and her associate Teri Duncan who battle the U.S. government in a fight for justice that tests their commitment to the law and their client at every turn. Their controversial advocacy, along with evidence uncovered by military prosecutor, Lt. Colonel Stuart Couch, reveals shocking truths about Guantánamo.Amnesty International’s Guantánamo Bay report (2021) indicated that sleep deprivation, water boarding and other inhumane techniques have been used there. Amnesty International, is committed to creating a global future where human rights are enjoyed by everyone. They undertake research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of the rights to physical or mental integrity and freedom of conscience and expression.
