Former Vice President Jorge Glas of Ecuador has begun a hunger strike in a maximum-security prison, where he’s been held since Saturday.
Glas refused food and was hospitalized, then discharged and returned to prison. He was arrested during a raid at Mexico’s embassy, where he sought asylum amid corruption accusations. Despite his appeals, Glas remains detained.
Meanwhile, the fallout over the embassy raid escalates. Latin American nations, including Mexico, condemn Ecuador’s actions, leading to diplomatic tensions. The Organization of American States passed a resolution denouncing Ecuador’s intrusion into the embassy.
Ecuador defends its actions, citing Glas’s criminal accusations. The situation remains tense, with calls for dialogue to resolve the crisis.
