At least 50 prisoners escaped from Luebo prison in Kasai province, central-southern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), leaving the prison empty. The escape occurred during the night of Thursday to Friday, with the fugitives forcing prison accesses and fleeing after stealing three weapons. Authorities suspect some prison security agents' collaboration. This is not the first prison escape incident in DRC, with a similar event in Makala prison in Kinshasa resulting in 129 deaths in September 2024.
