The Mauritanian human rights organization SOS-Esclaves just sent me this testimony of a female slave, Oumoulkheir Mint Yarba, who escaped servitude in February 2010, and has now lodged official complaints against her former masters.

Exiled Mauritanian human rights advocate Mohamed Yahya Ould Ciré explains that some black slave women in his country are still forced to have children with their Moorish masters, and are still subject to mass rape and torture.
