Ecuador police raided Mexico's embassy in Quito and arrested former Ecuadorian Vice President Jorge Glas who had been living there since December.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Friday evening announced the severing of diplomatic relations with Ecuador following the arrest of former Ecuadorian Vice President Jorge Glas. Ecuadorian police late Friday broke through the external doors of the Mexican embassy in the Ecuadorian capital, Quito, to arrest Glas, who had been residing there since December. Glas sought political asylum at the embassy after being indicted on corruption charges. 'This is not possible.
Honduran President Xiomara Castro, writing on X, characterized the raid as 'an intolerable act for the international community' and a 'violation of the sovereignty of the Mexican State and international law' because 'it ignores the historical and fundamental right to asylum.' On Saturday, Glas was taken from the attorney general’s office in Quito to the port city of Guayaquil, where he will remain in custody at a maximum-security prison.
Diplomatic premises are considered foreign soil and 'inviolable' under the Vienna treaties and host country law enforcement agencies are not allowed to enter without the permission of the ambassador. People seeking asylum have lived anywhere from days to years at embassies around the world, including at Ecuador's in London, which housed WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for seven years because British police could not enter to arrest him.
