Inmate brawl occurs at the Central Prisons

A violent clash involving groups of inmates took place yesterday morning in wing 1B of the Central Prisons. The participants used various makeshift weapons, including wooden clubs and knives crafted from materials such as dried bread. Prison guards from other wings were required to intervene to restore order, as the existing staff could not control the situation. This incident occurred shortly after a visit by the Committee for the Prevention of Torture, highlighting ongoing security concerns raised by the correctional officers. In response to recent reports regarding prison conditions, the Office of the Commissioner for Administration conducted an unannounced inspection on the same morning. The Commissioner stated that the findings and recommendations will be communicated to the relevant authorities for further action. There were no reports of critical injuries, but the incident has prompted renewed discussions regarding the security capabilities of the prison staff.
