notes: On 19 March 2020, inmates of the Beu Bassin prison set several parts of the institution on fire in Beau Bassin-Rose Hill (Plaines Wilhelms, Mauritius) after 3 people were tested positive for the coronavirus in the country. The group believes that their lawsuit processes take too long, prolonging their stay in prison. Officers from the GIPM, SSU and SMF were called; they used tear gas to control the group. 17 police officers were injured. [size=no report]
