Detention conditions deteriorate in Ituri prisons

Detention conditions in Ituri prisons are deteriorating, with limited access to food and medical care. Last week, a prisoner died at the central prison in Aru, leading to riots among inmates. Overcrowding, particularly in Bunia, further complicates the situation, and many prisoners rely on external aid to survive. Prison authorities are calling on the central government to release funds to improve these conditions.
