## Resource

A deadly prison riot in Sri Lanka left 26 dead—including 7 guards and 19 inmates—and 77 injured, sparking national alarm. The violence erupted between rival drug gangs, leading to a chaotic clash that authorities eventually quelled by relocating key inmates. Overcrowding—prisons housing 39,000 when designed for 10,000—is widely seen as a major contributing factor. In response, the government launched three investigations: a police probe, an internal prison review, and a special committee led by a retired judge. Security has been massively escalated, with army troops and tanks deployed to restore order and prevent future tragedies.
