Writing Guantánamo Diary | Highlights
Channel: De Balie
Date: 2022-09-01

Mohamedou Ould Slahi – who did not get charged – spent fourteen years in Guantánamo Bay. Despite his horrible imprisonment he has found a way to go on. He pleads forgiveness, and refuses to remain trapped in a vicious cycle of hatred. How do you go on with normal life when they unjustly robbed you from your freedom? 

Watch the highlights of the conversation between Mohamedou Ould Slahi (writer, artist in residence De Balie) and Larry Siems (human Rights Advocate, author, and editor) moderated by Yoeri Albrecht (director of De Balie).
