Abstract
We compute the fundamental group of a toroidal compactification of a Hermitian locally symmetric space $D / \Gamma$, without assuming either that $\Gamma$ is neat or that it is arithmetic. We also give bounds for the first Betti number.
Keywords
toroidal compactification, fundamental group, maximal parabolic subgroups
