Prisoners Riot in Tbilisi, Georgia
Saturday, January 25, 2003
Prisoners rioted in a jail in the nation of Georgia during a cell check for
weapons Saturday, January 25, injuring 10 police and guards.
At least 21 inmates were injured during the uprising. The clashes erupted
when prisoners resisted the search at the Tbilisi detention center, during
which police confiscated two submachine guns, three grenades, knives, drugs
and other banned items. One riot policeman was in serious condition, a
prison spokeswoman said.
Video footage that was taken by the Justice Ministry and aired on Georgian
television, showed inmates banging the bars of their cells and flames
shooting out a prison window. Riot police cordoned off the building where
the battle took place, and Interior Ministry troops were deployed outside
the center.
