Three Iranian inmates convicted on drug charges have escaped
from the Salemba Penitentiary in Central Jakarta,
on Tuesday, local police say.
“The iron bars were cut through, and then they escaped out
the window,” Central Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Angesta Romano Yoyol said
Wednesday, as quoted by tempo.co.
He disclosed the identity of the three convicts as Mohammad
Razmi Ramazah, Ali Reza Rastegar Mozafar and Rasoul Sarlakian.
He said that although their sentences were all for
drug-related cases, the three were arrested separately.
“One has only served one month [in prison], another has
served two months and the other one has served 11 months,” he said.
The police said they would question a number of witnesses in
connection with the escape of the three Iranian prisoners to find out whether
or not their getaway was due to prison guards’ negligence.
