The Sunday Times claims that migrants who took part in the Ħal Far riot last week were mistreated by prison officials. The paper says there were manhandled, packed into cells and humiliated. The Correctional Services Agency denies reports of abuse.
The report quotes two separate sources said the migrants were manhandled in prison by members of the Special Response Team, who also used batons. Some prison warders, also known as correctional officers, were reportedly also involved. In a reaction last night, the Correctional Services Agency of Corradino “strongly denied” the allegations.
“The 107 migrants who were admitted this week were all registered, showered, clothed with clean clothes, visited by the medical doctor and fed – that is the same treatment [as] all other inmates. They are now carrying out a normal prison routine until their sentence is terminated or they are released by court order,” Randolph Spiteri, Chief Operations Officer, told The Sunday Times of Malta
