On Thursday, the public prosecutor’s office in Nouakchott referred more than 15 detainees in the “bloggers abroad” case to an investigating judge and requested that they be remanded in custody. Reports say they are accused of terrorism and financial extortion, although the prosecutor’s office has issued no official statement about the charges. The case involves 24 people, according to opposition blogger Sidi Ould Akmach, who said he had been accused of terrorism by the prosecutor’s office. Those detained have been in custody since late September and include relatives of opposition bloggers, journalists, and people working in currency exchange and real estate brokerage. The government says the case concerns a network involved in extortion and spreading false news. Opposition figures and bloggers deny the allegations and describe the arrests as retaliatory.
