TAJIKISTAN, May 20 - A riot at a prison in Tajikistan has left 32 people dead, including 24 members of the Daesh terrorist group and three guards, authorities said Monday.
.
Five of the inmates and the three guards were killed by Daesh prisoners during the riot that erupted on Sunday evening, the justice ministry said in a statement.
.
The prison in Vakhdat, 17 kilometers (11 miles) east of the capital Dushanbe, holds 1,500 inmates.
.
It said the prisoners first stabbed to death three guards, and then five other inmates "in order to intimidate" the others.
.
They then took other prisoners hostage before opening fire on the jail's medical facilities.
.
"Following a reprisal operation, 24 members of this group were killed and 25 others arrested. The hostages were freed" and calm restored to the prison, the statement said.
.
Among the leaders of the riot, the Tajik authorities identified the 20-year-old son of the former head of Tajik special forces who became a member of the Daesh leadership in Syria, where he was killed in September 2017.
In November 2018, another riot claimed by Daesh left 26 people dead in Khujand, a city of 700,000 people in the northeast of the country.
