The opposition accused the authorities of resorting to this measure in order to cover what it called the scandal of torturing civilian and military detainees in Wadi al-Naqa prison to the east of Nouakchott, disclosed by Mauritania Monitor For Human Rights. In a statement under the title "the Mauritania jail of Abu Ghreib," it said that secret pictures were depicted for tortured detainees in Mauritania taken during their stay in the Mauritanian jails, noting that the detainees whose photos were taken were detained under the charge of collaborating with the organization of the "Knights of Change" which was led by lt. Saleh Weld Hanana, who was arrested several weeks near the borders with Senegal. Despite the fact that the Monitor collected the testimonies of lawyers who visited the detainees and stated that traces of brutal torture "were obvious on them," the Mauritanian minister of communications denied the existence of cases of torture among the detainees and accused human rights organizations of falsifying pictures which were shown on the Internet as examples for the cases of torture.
