Una grande rivolta in un carcere dello Sri Lanka ha causato almeno 26 morti, di cui 7 poliziotti, e più di 100 feriti. È successo nella prigione di Negombo, città che si trova circa 35 chilometri a nord della capitale Colombo. La rivolta era iniziata domenica con una rissa tra due gruppi di detenuti: alcuni prigionieri erano riusciti a rubare delle armi alla polizia e due persone erano state uccise. È continuata per tutta la giornata ed è proseguita anche lunedì, in modo ancora più violento. Molti detenuti hanno cercato di evadere, e la polizia ha risposto sparando contro alcuni di loro. Ora la situazione è sotto controllo.
