Prohibition of the Black Slave Trade
text:
The Firman of 1857, also referred to as the Prohibition of the Black Slave Trade, refers to the Imperial Firman or Ferman (Decree) issued by Sultan Abdülmecid I in 1857. The decree formally prohibited the import of African slaves to the Ottoman Empire.
However, the decree was introduced because of diplomatic pressure, was not enforced and remained nominal on paper only. It also excluded the Hejaz Province, which was the main destination of the Red Sea slave trade.
