Now a major motion picture called The Mauritanian

The first and only diary written by a Guantánamo detainee during his imprisonment, now with previous censored material restored.

Mohamedou Ould Slahi was imprisoned in Guantánamo Bay in 2002.

There he suffered the worst of what the prison had to offer, including months of sensory deprivation, torture and sexual assault.

In October 2016 he was released without charge.

This is his extraordinary story.

Mohamedou Ould Slahi was born in Mauritania in 1970. He earned a scholarship to study engineering in Germany when he was 18, and lived and worked in Germany and briefly in Canada before returning to Mauritania in 2000. He has been detained in Guantánamo Bay since August 2002.

Larry Siems directed the Freedom to Write and International Programs at PEN American Center, where he led PEN s ongoing efforts to defend writers facing persecution around the world and protect freedom of expression in the US. He left at the end of 2013 to concentrate on editing Slahi s memoir. He is the author of The Torture Reportand is a poet and non-fiction writer.
