The police commander-general, Bernardino Rafael, reported that during the mass escape operation at the Central Prison in Maputo, 33 prisoners were killed.
This figure refers to the victims who were kil led during the operation, which, according to the commander-general himself, began inside the penitentiary and was not orchestrated externally. Of those who escaped, some were re- captured by security forces. After their recapture, these prisoners were taken to a room inside the penitentiary, where a massacre took place.
Over 100 recaptured prisoners were executed by the GOE (Intervention Operations Group), the UIR (Rapid Intervention Unit), and other defense and security forces.
