At least nine people died as a result of riots in a prison in the Ecuadorian capital, Kito, according to the country’s public prosecutor’s office.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office via social media said that it opened a “initial investigation into the death of nine people during the work of the Elca prison in Kito. In addition, the procedures for transporting the bodies are carried out. ”
The crisis in Ecuador’s prisons was exacerbated in February last year.
More than 400 prisoners died in less than two years as a result of conflicts between prison gangs, police and army in Ecuador prisons.
