webfact Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Rioting inmates at Thailand’s Krabi provincial prison set fire at their sleeping quarters at about 5.30pm today (Friday), as health and security officials were trying to screen inmates with rapid antigen kits, prior to moving some to other prisons. The riot restarted today, after the first round yesterday. Officials have, so far, managed to transfer about 400 inmates to other prisons, leaving about 1,700 still inside the prison compound, including the small group who allegedly set fire to their sleeping quarters. All of remaining inmates are scheduled to be moved to another prison nearby tonight. About 14 inmates were injured by rubber bullets, fired by prison officials in their attempt to subdue the rioters. Security forces were on standby earlier today before receiving an order to storm the prison to put an end to the riot and to arrest the inmates involved. A drone was also used to observe the situation inside the prison.
