Bruges - Riots in the prison while guards are on strike

BRUGES – After yesterday’s arson, prisoners of other sections revolted today. They caused damage to the prison and put fire to blankets and paper. The Federal Police had to call in the special intervention unit to break the revolt and force the prisoners back into their cells. The guards are still on strike. The governor asked the Minister to put in the army to secure the prison, but police said they are still capable of managing the prison… for a few days more.
