A riot in a prison in Venezuela has left at least 20 people dead, officials say. 

委内瑞拉某监狱内部发生暴乱,造成至少20人死亡。
 
The riot occurred at the Yare I prison in Miranda state, the prisons minister Iris1 Varela told state TV, adding that the situation at the prison was now under control.
 
The violence occurred between rival gangs, with one of the dead a relative of an inmate2, Ms Varela said.
 
However, the precise cause of the riot is not yet clear.
 
"There was a confrontation3 between two heavily armed groups inside the prison," Ms Varela said, adding that those responsible for the deaths would be "made to answer" for their actions.
 
Addressing wider concerns about Venezuela's prison system, Ms Varela said that violent inmates4 were "a minority who maintain control through terror".
 
The majority of prisoners were peaceable, "want to pay off the debt they owe and return to their lives", she said.
 
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights says protests and fights between rival gangs in Venezuela's overcrowded prisons led to more than 500 deaths last year.
 
Last month a riot in the Cepra penitentiary5 went on for 20 days before the leaders of the rebellion gave themselves up.
