A riot and fire broke out at Korydallos Prison near Athens as inmates attempted to block the extradition transfer of a prisoners to Türkiye. Inmates set fire to mattresses in Ward 5, prompting a major police intervention that restored control after several hours. Police sources confirmed that despite the unrest, the inmate’s transfer to the airport was successfully carried out as planned. The rioters, reportedly linked to past shooting incidents in Istanbul, allegedly instigated the disturbance in an attempt to seek political asylum. While official statements are pending and an investigation is underway, unconfirmed reports indicate that three people were killed and 20 injured during the violence.
