Ecuador's National Court of Justice has that the seizure and arrest of former vice president Jorge Glas from inside Mexico's embassy in Quito was"illegal and arbitrary."
Lawyers for Glas are seeking his freedom after filing a writ to the court and seeking that his detention be declared illegal. Several Latin American states, Spain, the European Union, United States and the UN chief have condemned the embassy intrusion as a violation of the 1961 Vienna Convention governing diplomatic relations.
Quito had requested authorisation to enter the embassy and arrest Glas, but Mexico's refusal and comments by its President, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, led to the expulsion of its ambassador and hours later to the armed raid.
