The Kummissjoni Armar within the Soċjetà Filarmonika Maria Mater Gratiae Żabbar A.D. 1883 has officially broken a long-standing national record for the longest liedna (a traditional Maltese festa decoration) created in the shortest time.

The previous record, set several years ago, measured 358.10 meters and was completed in 77 hours.

However, this past weekend, a dedicated team of volunteers successfully completed a liedna measuring an impressive 653.96 meters in just 67.5 hours—shattering the previous record by a significant margin.

The event was recognised by The Malta Records, which confirmed the achievement and praised the effort and dedication involved.

The Alleged Hidden Dangers Faced by Prison Officers

Feb 4 2025 Share

Recent revelations by TV presenter Karl Stagno Navarra have brought to light alleged alarming situations inside Kordin prison. Through a series of photos and a shocking video shared on social media, Stagno Navarra highlighted the serious risks faced by prison officers on a daily basis.

Among the key concerns raised are the frequent physical altercations that officers must intervene in. As the video clearly shows, these confrontations can escalate rapidly, putting both the officers and inmates at significant risk. Maintaining order in such a volatile environment is a constant challenge.

Another serious issue that Stagno Navarra shed light on, is the manufacturing of weapons inside the prison. Reports suggest that some inmates have been able to create makeshift weapons, increasing the likelihood of violent incidents.

The alleged presence of gang conflicts and vendettas further complicates the situation as Stagno Navarra explains in his Facebook post. He said that beyond physical threats, officers are also subjected to psychological intimidation. Stagno Navarra claims that some officers have been targeted through ritualistic threats, including alleged Voodoo practices, aimed at instilling fear and exerting control.

Stagno Navarra also said that the dangers faced by prison officers are not confined to the walls of Kordin. Some have reportedly been targeted even outside of work, with incidents such as personal vehicles being set on fire outside their homes, placing their families at risk.

The release of this footage has sparked renewed debate on prison security and whether enough measures are in place to protect correctional officers. While public discussion often centers on the treatment of inmates and prison conditions, the serious challenges faced by those responsible for maintaining order remain largely underreported.
