Eldiario.es reports that the preventative prisoner who was incarcerated last Friday has been found dead this Monday in his cell. Since 2021, the Government has been responsible for the management of the three prisons of the CAPV.

A broad representation of the Department of Equality, Justice and Social Policies has held an extraordinary meeting with the parties of the Basque Parliament to publicise the case information and the protocols put in place. Both the Prison Inspectorate and the judiciary are beginning to investigate what has happened.

Contains the words of the Government Eldiario.es: “Unfortunately, the risk of suicide is common in prisons around the world, especially in the case of people in probisional prison.”
