ABOUT
Mauritania's largest prison, Dar Naim has been reported to detain non-nationals. In 2023, the country presented information to the UN Committee on Migrant Workers in which it confirmed that foreigners had been detained at the site. Conditions in the facility are reported to be dire, including serious overcrowding and wholly inadequate sanitation facilities.
