CNN
Ecuador's President Guillermo Lasso has called a "crisis cabinet" after yet another outbreak of brutal prison violence left at least 68 people dead on Saturday, according to statement from the president's office.
The move came after the Ecuadorian prosecutor's office asked the government to take "urgent measures" to address the situation, according to a post on the agency's official Twitter account.
Prosecutors said at least 68 prisoners were killed and another 25 wounded during Saturday's clashes at the Litoral Penitentiary, one of Ecuador's largest prisons in the coastal city of Guayaquil.
