On Wednesday, Mauritanian police referred more than 15 people detained in the “bloggers abroad” case to the public prosecutor in Nouakchott, after around a month and a half of investigations into what authorities say is a network involved in financial extortion and crimes against state security. Bloggers and opposition figures denied the allegations and described the detentions as retaliatory. The prosecutor’s office said the law bars suspects in state-security cases from contacting their lawyers while in police custody. Mauritania fell from 50th to 61st place among 180 countries in Reporters Without Borders’ 2026 press freedom ranking. The organization documented at least four cases of police violence against journalists in Nouakchott on April 16.
