Ecuadorian police assault Mexican Embassy in Quito
The International Committee for Peace, Justice and Dignity expresses its total solidarity with Mexico, a brotherly and supportive country, with its worthy government and diplomats who bravely defended the sovereignty of their country, before the brutal assault on the Mexican embassy in Quito on April 5, perpetrated by the Armed Forces and the Ecuadorian Police to kidnap former Vice President Jorge Glas.
At the risk of his own life, the Head of the Foreign Ministry at the Mexican Embassy in Ecuador, Roberto Canseco, was mistreated, restrained and subdued by the attackers in gross violation of the most elementary principles governing respect for diplomatic relations.
We repudiate with all our strength the flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention that protects the sovereign immunity of the States represented in each country, the Right of Asylum and International Law.
We hold President Daniel Noboa responsible for the life and physical integrity of Jorge Glas, imprisoned since the government of Lenin Moreno, banned by the government of Lasso and persecuted by the government of multi millionaire Noboa.
We demand his immediate freedom, the cessation of judicial persecution, typical of law fare, to Jorge Glas, former president Rafael Correa and all the persecuted leaders of the Citizen Revolution.
Noboa and his ministers must be tried for the use of force to break into Mexican sovereignty, for having put at risk the lives and sovereign immunity of diplomats and for the brutal kidnapping of the elected vice-president of Ecuador.
The Ecuadorian-American president Daniel Noboa intends to impose his neoliberal policies, cutting down with false accusations leaders like Glas and Correa who during their governments worked for and by the people, against the interests of the oligarchy and the multinationals.
Correa was part, together with the Heads of State, of the CELAC Proclamation: Latin America and the Caribbean Zone of Peace.
The Ecuadorian people and their organizations will not allow this new affront that shames all of Latin America and the Caribbean.
Solidarity to Mexico, to Jorge Glas, and to the brotherly people of Ecuador.
