Ecuadorian Court Rules Arrest of Jorge Glas at Mexican Embassy Illegal

Despite the court's ruling, former Vice President Jorge Glas remains in detention, with escalating diplomatic tensions between Ecuador and Mexico.

An Ecuadorian court declared the arrest of Jorge Glas inside the Mexican Embassy in Quito as illegal, citing violations of diplomatic norms.
Glas, previously granted asylum by Mexico, was arrested without the required permissions, sparking international and diplomatic disputes.
Despite the court's ruling on the illegality of the arrest, Glas continues to be detained and his ongoing imprisonment was upheld by the tribunal.
Mexico has severed diplomatic ties with Ecuador and filed a complaint with the International Court of Justice, demanding an apology for the embassy raid.
Glas is currently on a hunger strike in prison, protesting his arrest and conditions, and was recently hospitalized due to health issues.
