The discovery of several listening devices in their cells caused the revolt of dozens of prisoners, including Albanians, in the Don Bosco prison in Pisa .
Around 40 people allegedly took control of an entire ward, barricaded themselves inside it and demanded to meet with the commander of the penitentiary police and the director of the institution.
The protest began around 7:00 PM, as revealed by a live broadcast on TikTok, made by a prisoner with a cell phone, which had ended up in his hand despite the bans.
The man shared on social media that on Tuesday the prison administration had taken prisoners out of their cells for about two hours, with the excuse that "an evacuation test was going to be carried out."
According to him, on Wednesday, they discovered the presence of eavesdropping devices and other electronic devices hidden for investigative purposes.
During the live broadcast on the social network, which had around 15 thousand viewers before it was interrupted, the prisoners, with their faces uncovered and without visible signs of physical violence, alternating between Italian and Albanian, denounced that they "have been beaten with rubber batons" and that they have "the right not to be eavesdropped on and to be able to speak freely while we are in the cell, without fear that we are being eavesdropped on."
