According to recent official reports and a memorandum submitted to the UN Security Council, shocking details have emerged regarding the humanitarian crisis and systemic violations inside the "Debris" (Dagreece) prison, located southwest of Nyala in South Darfur.

The facility, which was originally established in 2015 as an alternative to the old Nyala federal prison, is currently facing extreme overcrowding, holding thousands of detainees far beyond its planned capacity. Legal and medical monitoring groups have raised serious alarms over the catastrophic conditions inside the center, documenting severe shortages of food, clean water, and basic healthcare, alongside reports of physical and psychological abuse.

Human rights committees and international bodies are urgently demanding immediate access to the detention facility to evaluate the status of the prisoners, halt all forms of ill-treatment, and establish a transparent investigation to hold those responsible for these severe breaches.
