Former Ecuadorian Vice President Jorge Glas transferred from prison to hospital. Glas, convicted of corruption, took refuge in December 2023 in the Mexican embassy in Quito.
Police officers entered the embassy premises on Friday evening to arrest him. This intrusion, in violation of international conventions on diplomatic forums, caused the breakdown of diplomatic relations between Mexico and Quito and an international outcry. Mexico intends to assert before the highest court of the United Nations the inviolable nature of diplomatic representations established by the Vienna Convention of 1961.
