The country’s police commander-general, Bernardino Rafael, said 150 fugitives were detained.
Riots broke out at a prison in the Mozambican capital of Maputo. As a result of the incident, 33 people died, 15 were injured, and more than 1,500 prisoners escaped. CNN reported it.
Mozambican Police Commander General Bernardino Rafael said 1,534 people had escaped from prison during the unrest, of which 150 were incarcerated.
Mozambique has been experiencing escalating civil unrest following disputed elections in October that left the ruling Frelimo party in power. The opposition and their supporters say the vote was rigged.
Rafael believes that the protests outside the prison sparked this riot.
The country’s Justice Minister Gelena Kida told a local TV channel that the unrest started inside the prison and had nothing to do with the protests outside.
As we have already written, anti-Russian protests broke out in the self-proclaimed Republic of Abkhazia, which is de facto the territory of Georgia. Thousands of opponents of the conclusion of an investment agreement with Russia came to the parliament building. They broke the fence and destroyed the territory. Clashes began.
