The Syrian Interior Ministry denied on Monday reports that inmates have taken control of a prison in the central city of Hama on Monday.
Earlier in the day, the Russia Today TV said inmates have taken control of Hama prison, releasing a footage shot by a cellphone from inside the facility with inmates shouting amid a state of melee.
It added that the prisoners have captured some officers and kept them as hostages.
There are media reports since Sunday that Hama prison was gripped by a state of unrest over an attempt to move five political prisoners to a jail in Rif Dimashq
