A 17-year-old Guinean boy shows scars on his wrists

A 17-year-old Guinean boy shows scars on his wrists in June 2022 which he said were caused by Mauritanian police handcuffing him tightly for three hours during his expulsion to the border town of Rosso, Senegal in early 2021. “It was so tight that it hurt me, but when I told the police they didn’t listen,” he said. After his expulsion, the boy returned to Mauritania.
