The Fiji Prisons and Corrections Service said it will not make comments on whether the sacked Corrections officers have been referred to police in relation to the recent video published in a number of internet sites.
Spokesperson, Ana Tamani said she can only confirm that some officers have been fully discharged of their duties as a result of the video footage.
Tamani said they will not reveal how many officers have been sacked.
As reported early this morning, Fijivillage has received information that at least three Corrections officers were discharged from their duties late last week.
Tamani also said that the Corrections Service will not reveal the level of involvement of the sacked officers in the video showing two handcuffed men getting beaten up by a group of men.
She said they can only say that some officers have been sacked and no further comments will be made at this stage.
Meanwhile, Police spokesperson, Inspector Atunaisa Sokomuri said investigations continue and no further comments will be made for now.
The government had earlier stated that the formal investigation into the circumstances surrounding the video recording of Fijian security personnel and recaptured prison escapees is continuing.
A Ministry of Information release said that there will be no further statement until the investigation is complete and its findings are released by Government.
