| 2010-06-01 |
| [Maghrebia] Twelve Mauritanian human rights organisations issued a statement on Sunday (May 30th) urging the government to abolish the death penalty, ANI reported. The letter from the Mauritanian National Forum of Human Rights Organisations (FONADH) came in response to the death penalties issued last week by a Nouakchott court against three men convicted for the 2007 French tourist family slaying near Aleg. |
