Arrests Made for Arson in Central Prisons
July 20, 2026
The police are making arrests of inmates for arson in the cells and corridor of the maximum-security wing of the Central Prisons. The fire, which broke out at night, allowed the safe evacuation of inmates with one staff member needing medical attention. The arson is said to be related to the inmates' frustration over not being able to watch the World Cup final due to restrictions. However, the actual reason appears to be some inmates' desire to be transferred to other wings with better facilities. The prison personnel union condemns the incident and calls for the depopulation of the prisons.
