of people have been killed or injured in a prison riot in the southeastern state
of Bolivar. Details from VOA's George Mee in our South America Bureau. "The riot
occurred at El Dorado Prison, a maximum security facility located in the jungles
700 kilometers southeast of Caracas. Some of the victims were burned to death
and others stabbed with home-made knives. The wounded victims of the uprising
have been taken to the nearby mining town of Tumailimo for medical treatment.

announced the casualties before flying to El Dorado with the national prison
director to investigate the incident. The clash began when the inmate went for
