Funerals held for Venezuela’s prison fire victims

President Nicolas Maduro has yet to respond to demands for answers about the deaths from a fire in one of Venezuela’s notoriously overcrowded prisons.

Relatives of inmates killed in one of Venezuela‘s worst prison riots are demanding answers as they bury their loved ones.

Sixty-eight people died in a fire at an overcrowded police station jail in the city of Valencia.

Authorities won’t confirm or deny reports that inmates started the fire, and relatives are demanding answers.
