TEHRAN, April 01 -Venezuelan authorities have arrested five state police officials for their suspected role in a recent incident at a prison facility in which 68 people died.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC)-Venezuelan authorities have arrested five state police officials for their suspected role in a recent incident at a prison facility in which 68 people died.
Venezuela’s chief prosecutor Tarek William Saab said in a tweet on Saturday that arrest warrants had been issued for five officials who are believed to be “responsible for the tragic events that caused the death of 68 citizens.”
Details remain sketchy — Saab provided no more specifics — but the incident happened on Wednesday when inmates in the reportedly crowded prison attached to a police station in Venezuela’s northern city of Valencia started a violent riot during an attempted breakout. A fire later erupted in the facility.
