Ecuador's President Guillermo Lasso has called a"crisis cabinet" after at least 68 inmates were killed in prison clashes on Saturday, according to an official statement of the President's office.
The move comes after the Ecuadorian prosecutor's office asked the government to take"urgent measures" to address the situation, according to a post on the agency's official Twitter account. Prosecutors said"68 prisoners were killed and another 25 wounded" in the violence that broke out Saturday at the Litoral Penitentiary, one of Ecuador's largest prisons in the coastal city of Guayaquil, the same facility that saw 118 people killed in clashes in September.
