Jan 11 (IANS/EFE) Nearly 300 inmates were removed from a prison in the eastern Mexican state of Veracruz over the weekend to allow US actor Mel Gibson to begin shooting a film later this month at the facility, officials said. Police and soldiers moved the inmates out of the Ignacio Allende prison, located in the port city of Veracruz and housing some 1,000 prisoners. The security forces closed streets near the prison, which is on one of the main streets in Veracruz, located some 400 km east of Mexico City, so the inmates could be transported to other facilities aboard about a dozen buses. The operation began shortly before midnight Friday and ended around 3 a.m. Saturday. Read More. |
