Never without my brother. Two prisoners "from the same siblings" attacked other supervisors of the Besançon prison, because they refused to be separated. The attack took place on Friday afternoon, the SNP-FO union said in a statement on Saturday.

The two men were in the same cell but were to be separated "following an incident" on Thursday, the statement said. The four supervisors who came to separate them then experienced "a riot of violence" from the two detainees, who broke "two ribs" to a supervisor and broke a tooth to one of his colleagues. The two other supervisors were hit in one hand for one and "cervical" for the other, according to the union.

"We must put an end to this trivialization of aggressiveness which unfortunately grows over the months and years", insists SNP-FO in its press release, demanding the placement of two detainees in "disciplinary quarter" as well as a " exemplary criminal sentence ”.
