Again restless Belgian prison

antwerp - In a Belgian prison has been restless again. Sunday did dozens of detainees in the Antwerp prison Begijnenstraat not return to their cells. The police were asked for assistance and was able to recover, among other fairly quickly with pepper spray the rest.

The police claim to have only used pepper spray on the lower body of a number of prisoners to get them back into their cells. A dozen inmates voluntarily went back after the police she had gone into conversation.

Saturday arrived in Merksplas about two hundred prisoners rebelled, demanding more participation. The Special Assistance Team and the federal police had come to bear in order to calm things down and get the situation under control. During the clashes between police and prisoners were caused two injuries and became a huge mess.

Then the authorities decided to place about a hundred prisoners to other prisons. It is unclear whether among the prisoners who were detained were who were transferred from Merksplas same day revolt in Antwerp. The reason for the protest Sunday is not yet clear.
