Ecuador prison riots death toll rise to 27
Al JazeeraPresident Guillermo Lasso issues order ‘to mobilise all necessary human and economic resources’ to re-establish order after deadly incident. President Guillermo Lasso had issued the order “to mobilise all necessary human and economic resources to re-establish order” in Ecuador’s prisons after violence erupted on Wednesday at jails in Guayas, in southwestern Ecuador, and Cotopaxi, in the centre of the country. The SNAI prisons management body posted on social media on Friday that “19 inmates are reported dead, one of them by hanging” in the Cotopaxi prison. The two jails previously experienced violent riots in February, when clashes between rival gangs vying for control of the country’s main prisons left 79 inmates dead in a single day.
