綜合《BBC》、《美聯社》報導,當地時間1日晚間至2日凌晨,超過百名囚犯試圖集體逃離監獄,剛果內政部長沙巴尼(Jacquemin Shabani)指出,鎮壓過程中,初估有24人因「警告射擊」而死,其餘皆為踩踏致死,總計超過129人死亡。
沙巴尼強調,此次事件導致重大人命和財產損失,監獄內的行政大樓、食品倉庫和醫院都起火受損,還有多名婦女在事件中遭到性侵;目前,當局表示監獄秩序已完全恢復,沒有囚犯成功越獄,當局已展開調查。

據了解,此次越獄規模之大,槍聲直到上午仍未平息,社群媒體上更流傳多部現場影片,地上都是囚犯的屍體,甚至多到得「人疊人」才能暫時安放,畫面令人震驚。
根據國際特赦組織(Amnesty International)的最新報告,馬卡拉監獄可容納1500人,是剛果最大監獄,但現在卻關了超過1萬名囚犯,導致監獄過度擁擠,頻繁出現囚犯餓死的事件。

司法部長穆坦巴(Constant Mutamba)表示,這起越獄事件是「有預謀的破壞行為」,並警告煽動者將面臨嚴厲處罰;此外,穆坦巴同時宣布,雖然禁止從馬卡拉轉移囚犯,但為減緩監獄擁擠問題,將建造新監獄等措施。
