2023 Mauritanian parliamentary election
Biram Dah Abeid was arrested on 24 May. He was the leader of the Democratic Alternation Coalition and re-elected deputy for Sawab+. He was arrested because he said that if the results of the elections are accepted, then "the free Mauritanians will carry weapons against the current regime" during a rally the day before. He also said in his speech that he was "committed to peace" but that he "wouldn't lie to the Mauritanian people" and that "election fraud was the reason the army couped former president Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya".
