في واحدة من أكبر عمليات الهروب، فر أكثر من 200 سجين من سجن في مدينة كراتشي جنوب باكستان في ساعة متأخرة مساء أمس الاثنين، بعد أن سُمح لهم بمغادرة زنازينهم إثر وقوع سلسلة من الهزات الأرضية. ويقع السجن في حي سكني وصناعي فقير بمنطقة مالير بكراتشي أكبر مدن باكستان.
وقال وزير العدل بإقليم السند ضياء الحسن لانجار للصحفيين في موقع الحادثة، إنه سُمح لمئات السجناء بالخروج لفناء السجن بسبب الهزات الأرضية.
وأضاف «ساد الذعر هنا بسبب الزلازل»، لافتاً إلى أنه كان من الصعب السيطرة على حشد يصل عدده إلى 1000 شخص. وأفاد بأن عملية الهروب من السجن بدأت قبيل منتصف ليل الاثنين واستمرت حتى الساعات الأولى من صباح اليوم الثلاثاء. ووصف لانجار الواقعة بأنها واحدة من أكبر عمليات الهروب في تاريخ باكستان
من جانبها، أوضحت مصادر الشرطة أن السجناء انتزعوا أسلحة من حراس السجن، ما أدى إلى تبادل لإطلاق النار، ثم اقتحموا البوابة الرئيسية.
وأعلن قائد شرطة إقليم السند غلام نبي ميمون أن معظم السجناء متهمون بجرائم بسيطة مثل إدمان المخدرات. وأضاف أن تبادل إطلاق النار تسبب في مقتل سجين واحد على الأقل وإصابة 3 من موظفي السجن.
وكشف رئيس وزراء إقليم السند مراد علي شاه، أنه تم القبض على حوالى 80 سجيناً حتى الآن، مضيفا أن السماح للسجناء بالخروج من زنازينهم كان خطأ. وحذر السجناء الفارين من أنهم سيواجهون تهمة كبيرة بسبب هروبهم ما لم يسلموا أنفسهم. وأضاف «ستتحول الجرائم البسيطة إلى قضايا كبرى مثل الإرهاب».

In one of the largest escape operations, more than 200 prisoners escaped from a prison in Karachi, southern Pakistan, late last night after being allowed to leave their cells following a series of earthquakes. The prison is located in a poor residential and industrial neighborhood in the Malir area of Karachi, the largest city in Pakistan.
Justice Minister of Sindh, Ziaul Hassan Langah, told reporters at the scene that hundreds of prisoners were allowed to exit to the prison yard due to the earthquakes.
He added, "Panic ensued here due to the earthquakes," noting that it was difficult to control a crowd of up to 1,000 people. He reported that the escape began just before midnight on Monday and continued into the early hours of Tuesday morning. Langah described the incident as one of the largest escape operations in Pakistan's history.
For their part, police sources clarified that the prisoners seized weapons from the prison guards, leading to an exchange of gunfire, and then stormed the main gate.
Sindh Police Chief Ghulam Nabi Memon announced that most of the prisoners are accused of minor crimes such as drug addiction. He added that the exchange of gunfire resulted in the death of at least one prisoner and the injury of three prison staff members.
Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah revealed that about 80 prisoners have been captured so far, adding that allowing the prisoners to leave their cells was a mistake. He warned the escaped prisoners that they would face serious charges due to their escape unless they surrender. He added, "Minor crimes will turn into major cases like terrorism."
