Yahoo! News - Portuguese prisoners refuse Christmas lunch because bread was not fresh: "Thu Dec 25, 2:10 PM ET
LISBON (AFP) - Some 50 prisoners at a jail near Lisbon refused to eat a special Christmas lunch because they said the bread included in the meal had not been freshly baked, local media reported.
The inmates began to protest when the director of the establishment, which houses 350 prisoners, joined them for their holiday lunch, the Lusa news agency reported citing a prison services official.
The prison, located in the town of Belas some 30 kilometres (20 miles) northwest of the Portuguese capital, opened earlier this year, making it one of the country's newest jails.
Virtually all Portuguese bakeries were shut Thursday, after closing earlier than usual a day earlier, in honour of the Christmas holiday. "
