Toll of disobedience | Two killed and ten injured among prisoners as security forces completely controlled the “Narcotics” prison

Two prisoners were killed and ten others were injured as the security forces in the “Narcotics” prison ended the disobedience of the prisoners who tried to dismantle the doors and windows to flee and refused to enter their cells.

The security forces arrested four fleeing prisoners in the vicinity of the “Narcotics” prison, formerly known as “juvenile,” controlled the yards of the prison, and forced the prisoners to enter their cells nearly one hour after the start of the disobedience.

Ambulance vehicles transported four people who were injured during the violent clashes between prisoners and the security forces in the prison of “drug dealers and abusers”, following disobedience by the prisoners and breaking of windows, while the clashes are still ongoing along with military reinforcements arriving to the region, amid confirmed information that some prisoners managed to flee.

A few hours ago, SOHR activists reported that prisoners in the juvenile prison in Al-Raqqa carried out disobedience with sounds of gunshots due to an attack from outside the prison.

On the same context, the security forces mobilized and imposed a security cordon around the vicinity of the prison. However, no casualties were reported.

This comes four days after a similar incident in the same prison.
