#2 More telling, how did the riots start? By the prisoners or by 'security personnel'?

I suspect this was a way to eliminate political prisoners using 'riots' as an excuse so they would not have to be released back to general population.

A couple weasel wording to note: "the deaths of 37 people" and "a "massacre" took place".

Makes me suspicious.
