ROME - Six inmates were killed in a prison riot in Italy and guards were taken hostage at another jail, as unrest spread in prisons across the country over measures to contain the coronavirus, including restrictions on visits.
Italy’s government has imposed a virtual lockdown across much of its wealthy northern regions at the epicenter of the contagion, in an effort to contain a virus which as of Sunday had killed 366 people. “There have been a series of rebellions across the country,” Basentini said. Video shown on Italian television showed police and fire trucks outside the prison as black smoke swirled into the sky.Prison guards union Sappe said two guards had been taken hostage in the northern city of Pavia and were released after a police raid.
Modena and Pavia are within the red zone that the government has established to limit the coronavirus contagion.
