  "summary": "Three Ghanaians are among the 154 foreign nationals currently held in Malta’s detention centres, according to data presented in the country’s parliament. Home Affairs Minister Glenn Bedingfield disclosed these figures in response to a query from Nationalist MP Adrian Delia. The detainees are spread across 28 countries and territories, with Ghana tied alongside Algeria, Morocco, and Mali, each having three detainees. In July 2024, there were 10 Ghanaians among 140 detainees, a number that has since increased by 14, while the total count of detainees has risen by 14. Bangladeshis dominate the detained population, making up 39 percent with 60 individuals, followed by Syrians with 17, Nigerians with 11, Libyans with 10, and Indians with eight.",
