"Deadly Uprising in Ecuadorian Prison: Authorities Recover Body Parts in Aftermath"
Dozens of body parts, including human heads, have been recovered from a major prison in Ecuador following a multi-day uprising that left at least 31 people dead. The official death toll is yet to be determined as many body parts still need to be identified. The prison system in Ecuador has long been plagued by violence, with inmates from rival criminal organizations often controlling the overcrowded facilities. Ecuador's prison service successfully freed over 100 guards who were taken hostage by inmates, prompting President Guillermo Lasso to declare a state of emergency in the country's penitentiary system for the next 60 days.
