The Director of the Comprehensive Care Service for Adults Deprived of Liberty Edmundo Moncayo broke the news at a press conference at the government palace in Quito.
He said, “The numbers are totally awful and I have to painfully report a total of 67 people dead in the three centers of confinement."
