In June and July 2009, there were several incidents involving serious beatings by warders in SP 4 and SP 19. During the three weeks before the events of 8 February, the officers had gone on strike. Consequently, there were only ten warders for eight SPs. In addition, there was a serious water shortage. Even when the water finally arrived, the warders refused to work. They then allowed a bigger group of detainees from SP 17 to fetch water. The detainees were so angry about the bad prison conditions that they started to destroy the building. They took iron bars and other tools and quickly smashed most of the locks in seven SPs in the following order: SP 17, 18, 22, 21, 19, 20 and 24.
