BRUGES – In the afternoon, about 30 prisoners refused to return to
their cells after the walk. They started to destroy windows and fences
and lit a small fire. The prison guards called in reinforcements from
the police and the special intervention unit of the Federal Police.
Prisoners resisted and fights erupted when police entered the prison.
Around 22h in the evening, calm was restored.
The
prisoners had several clear demands like more sport activities, more
television channels (euh) and less waiting time for the visitors.
