MASS Prison Break Sees 6,000 Inmates Escape Maputo Jail as Violence Breaks Out After Elections

Around 6,000 inmates have fled a high-security prison in Mozambiques capital Maputo after a rebellion with AK47 RIFLES, the countrys police chief said, amid post-election riots


AP 28 DEC 2024
















A mass jail break has seen at least 6,000 people escape from a maximum security facility - leaving 33 prisoners dead and 15 others injured after violent clashes with security forces.


Inmates escaped from the jail in Mozambiques capital Maputo on Christmas Day after a rebellion, the countrys police chief said, as widespread post-election riots and violence tear through the country.

Police chief Bernardino Rafael said 33 prisoners died and 15 others were injured during a confrontation with the security forces. The prisoners fled during violent protests that have seen police cars, stations and infrastructure destroyed after the country's Constitutional Council confirmed the ruling Frelimo party as the winner of the Oct. 9 elections.

The escape from the Maputo Central Prison, located around 9 miles southwest of the capital, started around midday on Wednesday after agitation by a group of subversive protesters nearby, Rafael said. Violence has engulfed Mozambique since the countrys highest court confirmed ruling Frelimo party presidential candidate Daniel Chapo as the winner of disputed Oct. 9 elections on Monday.

Some of the prisoners at the facility snatched weapons from the guards and started freeing other detainees. Rafael added: A curious fact is that in that prison we had 29 convicted terrorists, who they released. We are worried, as a country, as Mozambicans, as members of the defence and security forces.







Mozambiques Interior Minister Pascoal Ronda told a news conference in Maputo late Tuesday that the violence was led by mostly youthful supporters of losing candidate Venancio Mondlane, who received 24% of the vote, second to Chapo, who got 65%.
