Our specialist expert witness for Mauritania team provides asylum reports covering modern slavery and caste-based discrimination, racial discrimination against the Haratine population, political opposition targeting, journalist persecution, and religious persecution.
Mauritania maintains one of the world’s most entrenched systems of slavery and caste-based discrimination, with the Haratine (descended from enslaved people) facing systematic marginalisation. Our expert witness for Mauritania provides the specialist analysis needed to explain these unique persecution patterns to tribunals.
Moreover, our expert witness for Mauritania reports draw on credible sources including UNHCR, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and US State Department reports. Consequently, tribunals can be confident in the evidence we present.
Despite legal abolition, slavery persists in Mauritania with thousands living in conditions of servitude. Our expert witness for Mauritania documents how the caste system creates hereditary persecution that the state fails to address.
The Haratine population faces systematic discrimination in employment, education, and access to justice, with anti-slavery activists facing prosecution.
Political opponents and activists face arbitrary detention, particularly those challenging the racial hierarchy or advocating for Haratine rights.
Journalists and bloggers covering slavery, racial discrimination, and political affairs face arrest, detention, and prosecution.
Religious minorities and those perceived as deviating from orthodox Sunni Islam face prosecution under blasphemy and apostasy provisions.
Women face domestic violence, sexual assault, and forced marriage within a patriarchal system that provides minimal legal recourse.
