Merksplas - Small riots in the prison

MERKSPLAS - In the prison of Merksplas, about 40 prisonners refused to go back to the cells after the walk in the afternoon. The reason of this movement would be a disciplinary sanction given by the direction to a prisoner last week.
Some prisonners started to throw stones and broke windows of the prison. The local police came to aid the guards, but they didn't manage to break the rebellion. So then, direction called upon the special intervention unit of the federal police, which restored order around nightfall.
The direction transferred 6 prisonners to other prisons. They are in isolation.
