According to new data presented in parliament on Tuesday, 140 individuals are currently being held in detention centres in Malta.

This information was provided by Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri in response to a parliamentary question from Nationalist MP Darren Carabott, who requested details about the detainees, including their nationalities and the specific centres where they are held.

The data reveals that the largest group of detainees consists of Bangladeshi nationals, with 61 individuals currently in detention. This is followed by 23 Pakistani nationals and 10 Ghanaians. Additionally, the detention centres in Malta house individuals from Gambia, Syria, Somalia, and Nigeria.

Minister Camilleri noted that the data is accurate as of July 2, 2024. However, no further details were provided regarding the age, gender, or duration of detention for these individuals.

He mentioned that the detainees are housed in three separate areas, tailored to their needs and in accordance with relevant legislation.

“A substantial number of these individuals were apprehended for being in the country irregularly, and the authorities are making the necessary preparations for their return in the coming days,” Camilleri stated.
