Riot in the penal colony in the Turkistan region of Kazakhstan
Today, September 21, in the Turkistan region of Kazakhstan, prisoners of colony No. 55 rioted and set fire during a scheduled search. Orda reports this.
The publication writes that employees of the criminal-executive system department arranged a drug check. As a result, several people were placed in solitary confinement.
