Venezuela: 68 People Die in Fire in Prison in Valencia
------------------------------------------------------

In Venezuela, at least 68 people have died in a fire in a prison in the
northern city of Valencia. Prison officials say the fire erupted during
an uprising at the prison. Throughout the day Wednesday, family members
gathered outside the prison, demanding information about their loved
ones. This is Carmen Caldera.

Carmen Caldera: "They haven't told me anything. I want to know about my
child. I don't have any information on him. I don't know anything. We
want information about our family members. We need information. Look at
how desperate we are."
