"On behalf of my imprisoned father ... I wish to send a heartfelt and urgent plea to the United Nations and the international community to open a constructive dialogue to restore the country's rightfully elected government and institutions at the earliest opportunity," Abdallahi's daughter said in a statement released through a British spokesman. "My family and I are currently under house arrest and our communications with the outside world are restricted. Please help us return democracy to the people of Mauritania," Amal Mint Cheikh Abdallahi said. The spokesman said Abdallahi and his daughter were being held separately under house arrest. He had no information about the ousted president.
