Three defendants were sentenced to a combined total of 368 years in prison for their involvement in the deaths of four inmates during a rebellion in Manaus.
In a significant ruling by the Justice of Amazonas, three defendants have been sentenced to a total of 368 years in prison for their roles in the murders of four inmates during a rebellion that occurred on January 8, 2017, at the former Raimundo Vidal Pessoa Public Jail in Manaus. This rebellion was reportedly a retaliation for a massacre that took place days earlier at the Anísio Jobim Prison Complex. The Justice system has emphasized the premeditated nature of the attack, detailing how it was planned just four days after the prison facilities were reactivated.
