Jailbreak Attempt in Venezuela

Fire at police HQ kills 68

Agencies
Fire in the cells of a Venezuelan police station in the central city of Valencia killed 68 people on Wednesday, according to the government and witnesses.
Families hoping for news outside the police station were dispersed with tear gas and authorities did not give information until late into the evening.
Venezuelan prisons are notoriously overcrowded and filled with weapons and drugs. Riots leaving dozens dead are not uncommon.
State official Jesus Santander said the state of Carabobo was in mourning after the incident in the city of Valencia.
Attorney General Tarek William Saab gave the death toll in the pre-dawn mayhem at the police headquarters in northern Carabobo state, blaming a fire thought to have been started deliberately.
The United Nations human rights office yesterday called
on authorities in Venezuela to carry out a speedy investigation into a prison fire and to provide reparations to victims' families.
"We urge the Venezuelan authorities to carry out a prompt, thorough and effective investigation to establish the cause of these deaths, provide reparations to the victims' families, and, where applicable, identify and bring those responsible to justice," the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said in a statement voicing concern at prison conditions.
Carlos Nieto, head of a prisoners' rights group called Una Ventana a la Libertad (A Window on Freedom), said that some prisoners burned to death and others choked after setting fire to mattresses and stealing a guard's gun in an attempt to break out.
The dead included two women who were visiting the jail, the attorney general said, adding that four prosecutors have been named to investigate.
Photos taken by Nieto’s group showed the body of a man with burns and firefighters trying to put out flames.
Relatives of those being kept in the detention center tried to force their way in. After one officer was injured by a tossed stone, the crowd was dispersed
by police firing tear gas.
A video posted on Twitter showed dozens of people demanding information in front of police guarding the site. Women were seen crying.
"I am a desperate mother. My son has been here a week. They have not given any information," Dora Blanco told local media.
Local news correspondents wrote on Twitter that the facility was tense Wednesday night.
Venezuela's prisons suffer from dire overcrowding and a shortage of basic supplies, struggling under the deepening economic crisis that is gripping the once-wealthy oil-producing country.
Because of the lack of space in penitentiaries, convicts are often sent to police holding cells like the ones in Carabobo, meant to be used as temporary pens for suspects facing charges or court hearings, where detainees are supposed to spend a maximum of 48 hours.
Nieto's association estimated that the temporary detention centers were overfilled by five times their capacity.
And what happened Wednesday in Carabobo is not an isolated incident, he added.
"All the police stations in Venezuela are facing similar or worse conditions of overcrowding, lack of food and disease," he said.
