Violents affrontements à la prison de Mbour : trois détenus grièvement blessés
Clashes erupted last weekend at the Mbour Detention and Correctional Facility (MAC), leaving three inmates seriously injured. According to accounts collected by L'Observateur, a routine search degenerated into violent clashes between prison guards and prisoners in Room 9.
According to the daily newspaper of the Future Media Group, the inmates, caught in the middle of their meal, refused to submit to the search, which sparked an altercation. The guards' forceful intervention then provoked a violent fight. The toll was heavy, with significant material damage and three inmates injured: Mbothie in the head, Idy Guèye in the knee, and Nar in the feet, the latter having been interned in the infirmary.
In protest, the same source said, inmates in several cells began a hunger strike. They demanded to speak only to the Mbour prefect and the sentencing judge. The protest was suspended on Monday after negotiations with prison officials.
Contacted by L'Observateur, the prison administration, via its communications unit, refused to comment, stating that it was "not aware of such an incident."

"Que signifie être interné ?
Enfermer par mesure administrative (des réfugiés, des étrangers…). Hospitaliser sans son consentement une personne dans un hôpital psychiatrique."
