Seized warders freed as Lebanon prison riot ends

He said one of the security guards at the prison in the northern city of Tripoli was taken to hospital suffering from slight wounds after being beaten by the inmates.
The mutiny had broken out early Monday with about 30 prisoners seizing the warders.
The security official said that following the rioting, 15 of the inmates were transferred to another prison about 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of the capital Beirut.
Violence broke out at Qobbeh prison in January 2009 with inmates also seizing jailers to demand better conditions.
Qobbeh is the largest prison in northern Lebanon and houses 600 inmates.
