Two prisoners were killed and seven people injured in a riot in a Panamanian prison on Tuesday.
The Panamanian police said the riot occurred in a prison 350 km west of the capital Panama City and the situation was under control after the riot squad used tear shells.
Two inmates, who were in their 20s, were killed during the riot. Police said the two were indicted for crimes related to drug trafficking, therefore they did not rule out the possibility that the riot was related to organized crimes.
The police have conducted an investigation to determine who killed the two inmates and what caused the riot.
