The Global Detention Project has issued an information request to Mauritania’s National Human Rights Commission (Commission Nationale des Droits de l’Homme [CNDH]), requesting information regarding its reports detailing migrant detention centre visits. To date, we have not received a response.
The CNDH has the authority to visit detention centres, allowing it to monitor conditions, document practices, and report on the treatment of detainees.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope you are well.
I am writing on behalf of the Global Detention Project to request information regarding your report on visits to migrant detention centres in Mauritania. As part of our monitoring and analysis of migrant detention practices, the reports published by the National Human Rights Commission are an essential source for us to assess changes in detention conditions.
Could you please confirm whether the most recent report has been published, and if so, where it can be accessed? If it is not yet available, we would appreciate knowing the anticipated publication date.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and we remain at your disposal for any further discussion.
Sincerely,
Abdulaziz Muhamat
GDP Refugee Advocacy Coordinator
