At least 52 dead in Mexico prison riot

Desperate relatives –

Ambulances were sent to the prison while scores of relatives crowded at the entrance, throwing rocks and pulling the gate open as riot police blocked their way with a parked vehicle.

Other relatives shouted through a fence, hoping to hear information from the inmates.

Some relatives of prisoners formed a line by holding hands to block a boulevard.

“We will stay here blocking this avenue until they give us an answer. We want to know how our relatives are doing because they are telling us that there are more than 50 dead and no authority is giving us answers,” Ernestina Grimaldo, whose son is a prisoner, told AFP.

Nuevo Leon has been the scene of violent turf wars between the Zetas and Gulf cartels for years.
