CYPRadar 🇨🇾👮 Violent brawl erupts at central prison, dozens injured and weapons seized
A violent fight involving dozens of inmates broke out at the central prison on Sunday, prompting wardens from other wings to intervene and restore order. The clash, which involved bats, knives, and other weapons, resulted in multiple injuries among prisoners. Authorities have yet to determine the cause of the confrontation.
Following the incident, a comprehensive search of prison cells on Monday morning uncovered several sharp objects, which were promptly confiscated. As a precaution, all inmates in the affected wing were confined to their cells pending further administrative decisions.
The incident has once again highlighted concerns about understaffing within the prison. Sources noted that with only two to three wardens assigned per wing, maintaining order and preventing such violent outbreaks has become increasingly challenging.
