PRISON MASSACRE KILLS 52
8/31/2120 - By Arton Sienna
Brazilian authorities report an unknown group of mercenaries, dubbed the 'Troops from Hell' as described by some surviving prison guards. They were said to have been foreign mercenaries, as they appear to have gone off the radar of Brazillian authorities. But these men are the least of their concerns, as these 'Troops from Hell' managed to fight tooth and nail to defeat several key figures in the correctional facility, redacted for the sake of privacy, to include Paulo Bronco, the Chief Warden, to which his head - still attached to his mechanical suit was severed and put on display as they released hundreds if not thousands of inmates to wreck havoc on the correctional facility. They also murdered several other well-esteemed members of the Brazilian Riot Police Unit. President Gabriel De los Reyes had this to say,
"My dear citizens. I have heard of this dire news today. Let me be clear. These 'Troops from Hell', I will personally send to the deepest depths of hell with every power I have imaginable, and these demonic cur they have released from my prison will have their day under the electric chair."
Needless to say, while this isn't exactly an uncommon sight to many Brazilian people, this is the first time a prison of this magnitude has been breached, and this many people have been killed in one of the most violent prison riots of all time. As the situation develops, while some have been apprehended and many are killed, this only accounts for 20% of the prison's population. As it stands, these men are now armed and dangerous, as they have seemingly taken over the prison, taking potshots at police and murdering scores of authorities as they scatter, some even forming barricades and making the prison into a military-style fort.
With the situation still on going, it seems like the President will have to make another statement to address the fact that these prisoners may have indeed taken over the prison.
Update: As of today, several men released by the 'Troops from Hell' have been spotted in Japanese territory, specifically Japan - but these are all rumors. While talks may be staged by Brazilian and Japanese authorities, the fact of the matter is that due to the strange autonomous nature of the Combat Zone in Taihaku, it may even be a legal loophole. If a case this scale goes to corporate court and it deems that Japan may not intervene, it may cause an influx of convicts to immigrate to that zone in particular.
Update 2: The prison has been retaken, however only 30% of the remaining population still remain heavily armed and quite dangerous. The government has posted a bounty on a list of individuals in regards to their criminal record and their standing sentence at the time of their escape.
