His lawyer, Sonia Vera, assured his innocence and condemned the violation, outrage and persecution to which he has been subjected by the government of Noboa.

Vera also recalled that, at the time of his arrest, Jorge Glas was in the capacity of diplomatic asylee of the Mexican government and was still brutally arrested by Ecuadorian forces.

In her X account, the defense lawyer said, “The lack of communication with Jorge Glas at the La Roca Detention Center for more than 48 hours violates his fundamental rights and puts his safety at risk. We demand immediate access and transparency”.

 The text reads, Urgent: The lack of communication with Jorge Glas at the ‘La Roca’ Detention Center for more than 48 hours violates his fundamental rights and puts his safety at risk. We demand immediate access and transparency.

Another jurist, Andrés Villegas, also a member of Glas’s legal team, stated that a petition for habeas corpus was filed with the National Court of Justice to declare illegal the arrest of the former vice president, for the violent treatment received by the former official.

Regarding this, the lawyer warned that the way in which the former official was arrested violated International Law, International Humanitarian Law, the human right to asylum provided for in the American Convention on Human Rights and the Integral Criminal Code (ICC) about raiding a diplomatic mission.

On the raid on the Mexican Embassy by Ecuadorian forces, both citizens of the country and governments around the world have made public their condemnation.
