Countries must protect people in detention from the COVID-19 pandemic by releasing vulnerable prisoners, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said Wednesday.

"Covid-19 has begun to strike prisons, jails and immigration detention centres, as well as residential care homes and psychiatric hospitals, and risks rampaging through such institutions' extremely vulnerable populations," said Bachelet said in a statement.

"Authorities should examine ways to release those particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, among them older detainees and those who are sick, as well as low-risk offenders."

Countries must protect people by expelling any and all UN personnel from within their borders.

They try to make it worse.

They tell everyone stay in place. Except prisoners.

Let them loose.

that’s right, unleash a tidal wave of crime on law-abiding citizens. That is like putting a scoop of crap on top of the mass hysteria and panic layer cake that the media/dem complex whipped up for us.

What the hell is wrong with these people?

1. If they are at risk in the prison, they are vectors leaving the prison!

2. If they don’t have it in the prison now... lock it down! Not the other way around.

3. These people should be experts at social distancing by now!

4. When society has self-quarantined, who in their right minds thinks sending hoodlums onto the streets (people who don’t listen to authority) is a civil thing to do?!

Nice!

Why not give those poor criminals guns to defend themselves?

Surely they will need 10,000 dollars to survive!

Whatever the UN says, do the opposite!
