Recall, the Tajik authorities says the violence was instigated by four inmates -- alleged members of the Islamic State (IS) terror group -- who wanted to create chaos, free several of the fellow members of various militant groups from their cells, and escape.
Five inmates were reportedly stabbed to death by the rioters, while 24 inmates – alleged participants of the disturbances – were killed in the effort to quell the violence.
The violence at the Vahdat facility was the second prison riot in Tajikistan in six months. Dozens of people were killed in violence in a high-security penal colony in the northern city of Khujand in November last year. Suspected IS supporters convicted of religious extremism and terrorism were reportedly behind the unrest in Khujand.
Following the November violence, Tajik authorities fired several prison officials, while several others went on trial on negligence charges.
Some 30 inmates from the Khujand prison were tried behind closed doors for their alleged participation in the November riot.
