Violent clashes between Moroccan and Algerian detainees in Spain
Indeed, according to the Spanish press, which quotes the Professional Association of Prison Officials, since the beginning of January 2023, the Murcia II prison center in Campos del Río has been suffering from tensions between these Moroccan and Algerian prisoners, some of whom are identified like miners, who end up causing violent clashes.
The facts go back to a simple brawl between these detainees, but despite the intervention of security agents and the application of isolation measures, tensions have not calmed down. Other clashes took place a few days later, showing rare violence according to the Professional Association of Prison Officials.
To control the situation, the management of this center decided to call for reinforcements to calm the tensions between these detainees.
