Mohamed Cheikh Ould Mkhaitir
Mohemed wrote an article called "Religion, religiosity and craftsmen," that criticized Mauritania's caste system.  The article was published on the news website Aqlame on December 31, 2013. Mauritania abolished slavery in 1981, but activists say it is still very common and that many Mauritanians are born into slavery. Mauritania passed a new anti-slavery law in 2015 that makes slavery a "crime against humanity".
