The tensions linked to the strike movement, which began in all the country’s prisons on Sunday at 10 p.m., are undoubtedly also having an impact on the prisoners, declared the spokesperson for the prison administration, Kathleen Van De Vijver.

At the end of the evening walk, 74 detainees refused to return to their cells. Two sections of the federal police went to the scene around 8:00 p.m. When they arrived, 73 prisoners were still outside.

According to the prison administration, this is the fourth uprising in a prison since Friday evening, after Turnhout, Hasselt and Bruges. The 48-hour strike by prison staff began at 10 p.m. on Sunday and will continue until 10 p.m. on Tuesday.
