QUESTO 93
After prison blaze kills hundreds in Honduras, UN warns on overcrowding, 15 February 2012
A United Nations human rights official today called on Latin American countries to tackle the problem of
prison overcrowding in the wake of an overnight fire at a jail in Honduras that killed hundreds of inmates.
More than 300 prisoners are reported to have died in the blaze at the prison, located north of the capital,
Tegucigalpa, with dozens of others still missing and presumed dead. Antonio Maldonado, human rights
adviser for the UN system in Honduras, told UN Radio today that overcrowding may have contributed to the
death toll. But we have to wait until a thorough investigation is conducted so we can reach a precise cause,

he said. But of course there is a problem of overcrowding in the prison system, not only in this country, but
also in many other prisons in Latin America.
