Pergaduhan di penjara Mexico ragut 10 nyawa
MAZATLÁN, MEXICO: Sepuluh orang maut, manakala lebih 12 orang lagi cedera selepas pergaduhan tercetus di penjara di negeri Sinaloa, Mexico, pada Khamis, menurut kerajaan tempatan.
Sekretariat Keselamatan Awam Sinaloa dalam kenyataan di platform X memaklumkan, "pergaduhan tercetus di dalam kawasan penjara itu" tanpa memberikan butiran lanjut mengenai punca kejadian.
Pasukan keselamatan dikerahkan dan berjaya mengawal semula keadaan, manakala wartawan AFP yang berada di lokasi menyaksikan ketibaan kenderaan berperisai dan beberapa ambulans.
Setiausaha Keselamatan Awam Sinaloa, Sinuhe Tellez, dalam video yang dimuat naik di media sosial berkata "sembilan banduan dan seorang kanak-kanak yang berkunjung ke penjara itu terkorban, manakala 16 banduan cedera".
Negeri Sinaloa di barat laut Mexico menjadi medan pertempuran antara puak yang bersengketa dalam kartel pengedaran dadah Sinaloa.
Sinaloa adalah antara enam negeri di Mexico yang dinasihatkan Jabatan Negara Amerika Syarikat (AS) supaya tidak dikunjungi rakyatnya berikutan kebimbangan terhadap aspek keselamatan. - AFP
