A riot in a penitentiary in Ecuador's Guayaquil on September 28 killed over 100 inmates and injured 52, the government prison authority said Wednesday. A dispute between prison gangs was the cause of the violence, local officials said. Ecuador's President Guillermo Lasso said he would lead a security committee to control the emergency, pledging to guarantee the "human rights for all those involved."
