一 | MEXICO CITY -- Five men were killed in a fight between inmates at a prison in Mexico’s Gulf coast state of Tabasco, authorities said Friday.Four of the five inmates killed in the riot late Thursday were on trial or serving sentences for rape, homicide or other violent crimes, the state police department said. Police said control of the prison had been regained, and that nobody else had been injured or escaped. About 16 prisoners were detained in relation with the killings. The police department blamed a “fight between groups” from different cell blocks. But photos and videos apparently made by inmates and posted on social media suggested the dead men may have been killed in retaliation for extorting money from fellow inmates.If confirmed, it would not be the first time that prisons in Mexico have erupted in violence for similar reasons. Inmates who are apparently connected to gangs with members on the outside routinely try to demand protection payments from prisoners. The gangs threaten prisoners or their families with violence to enforce payment demands.In 2022, 56 inmates were injured in a mass brawl at the Apodaca prison, just outside the northern city of Monterrey, which involved complaints that some prisoners were trying to extort money from others.It is part of a broader problem in Mexico in which people still on trial are often held in the same prisons with convicted inmates. Moreover, the poor supervision of many Mexican prisons often allow inmates to essentially control parts of the facilities.。 Kampala, Oct 22 (UNI) Three people among the 60 under quarantine at a Ugandan national referral hospital in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, have tested positive for Ebola virus disease, a top official said here on Saturday.
Minister of Health Ruth Aceng in a tweet said the three who were at an isolation facility at Mulago National Referral Hospital tested positive on Friday.
She said they were contacts to a confirmed case that had earlier passed on at the hospital.
The minister said the three will be transferred to Entebbe Isolation Unit, 40 km south of Kampala, since the Mulago unit still has contacts under quarantine.
"Let's remain vigilant and report anybody with symptoms similar to Ebola. Together we can end this epidemic," Aceng said.
The government has already put Kampala under a high response alert in case cases start increasing.
The ministry on Thursday gave envoys accredited to the country a guided tour of the Ebola treatment units, in a show of preparedness that the country is ready to combat and win the battle against the disease.
The Ministry of Health figures on Thursday showed that the country has so far registered 65 positive cases and 27 deaths since the outbreak was reported on September 20.
