00:00Family members of inmates in Villa Hermosa, Mexico, clashed with riot police on Thursday
00:09while attempting to break into the prison where their relatives were held.
00:13The clashes followed a riot inside the prison.
00:16Tabasco Security Secretary Victor Hugo Chavez said government forces faced gunfire and vandalism
00:23while transferring two violent inmates.
00:54The riot resulted in at least two deaths, but rumors circulated that the toll was higher.
01:07Inmates' families said they were given no further information, heightening their concerns
01:11for their detained loved ones.
01:24I fear the same as everyone else, that maybe they beat him, killed him, because there are many dead inside.
01:32My husband has been detained for two years, and he, being innocent, is here.
01:36So how can I not feel desperate, with many feelings found, because they don't tell us anything,
01:44we don't know anything, nobody comes out to tell us anything about them, we don't know if they're okay.
