- At least eight prisoners were killed when inmates fell upon each other in a prison in Guatemala. At least twenty people were injured, said Eunice Mendizabal Minister of the Interior.

         The riots began with an argument between two inmates and ended with a battle between two rival gangs. The prison in Puerto Barrios is overcrowded, accredited minister Mendizabal. The complex has room for four hundred prisoners, but currently there are nearly a thousand people behind bars.
Guatemala is often rocked by bloody riots in detention centers. Thus in November, sixteen inmates killed in a prison riot in the Central American country. Three of the victims were beheaded.
