According to a Human Rights Watch/Africa report, routine punishments for slaves in Mauritania for the slightest fault include beatings, denial of food and prolonged exposure to the sun, with hands and feet tied together. More serious infringement of the masters rule (in American slave-owning parlance, getting uppity) can lead to prolonged tortures known as the camel treatment, in which the slaves body is slowly torn apart; theinsect treatment, in which tiny desert insects are inserted and sealed into the ear canal until the slave is driven mad; andburning coals, a torture not fit to describe in a family newspaper.
