Tensione alle stelle a Maghaberry

Tensions high in Maghaberry after clashes

Several republican prisoners were taken to the ‘punishment block’ at Maghaberry jail after trouble broke out earlier this week, it has been claimed.

Sources say tensions are at their highest since serious clashes between inmates and staff erupted in February 2015.

The Irish Republican Prisoners Welfare Association claimed the wing was placed in lockdown after a verbal exchange between a republican prisoner and officers on the Roe Four landing.

A spokeswoman for the Prison Service confirmed that an “incident” took place and no injuries were caused to staff.

Solicitor Darragh Mackin said he had contacted the prison to raise concerns and requested that an independent doctor be allowed to examine those held in the punishment block.
