GENEVA (Reuters) - Police surrounded Geneva's main prison on Friday after some 40 prisoners refused to return to their cells from their daily walk, complaining about measures taken due to the COVID-19 epidemic, officials said.
"There was a refusal to go back to their cells. At the end of the afternoon, the prisoners who were finishing their walk inside the prison refused to go back to their cells," said Laurent Forestier, spokesman for prisons in Geneva.
