"I refused to backtrack on my views and statements and collaborate with security services to obtain my liberation," Ould Sidi Mouloud told the Moroccan "Med Radio" from Nouakchott.   

    He said he had been mistreated during his detention "all the more so as I was held in the desert and the polisario denied me access to the Tindouf camps."

     Ould Sidi Mouloud added that he told the UNHCR that he wanted to reunite his family wherever in the world, calling for his family to be allowed free movement.

    "I want to live naturally with my family; I am in an inhuman situation which I have not chosen."

    He noted that he had been interrogated during his detention by a director of Algerian intelligence services and that the interrogation focused on means to charge him with treason, an accusation, he said, that is vague and hard to prove.

     Ould Sidi Mouloud called for cohabitation and rejection of extremism, grudges and conflicts.

    He also extended thanks to the Moroccan people and authorities for their efforts to get him released.
