Imprisoned for Corruption Conviction After Unprecedented Mexican Embassy Raid, Former Ecuadorian VP Jorge Glas Tried To Commit Suicide and Is on Hunger Strike
The saga of the arrest and imprisonment of former Ecuadorian VP Jorge Glas just had yet another surprising and shocking development, as news arose that he attempted suicide and is now on a hunger strike at a prison in Guayaquil to protest his arrest.
Glas, who has been convicted of corruption for the third time, having previously served four years in prison, had sought asylum in the Mexican embassy in Quito when – in an unprecedented turn of events – an elite group of the Ecuadorian army RAIDED the Mexican embassy in Quito, to arrest him.
Armed Soldiers of the Ecuadorian Army, in black vehicles, broke the external doors of the Mexican diplomatic headquarters and accessed the courtyards.
