Mexico-Ecuador Tensions: Ecuador ex-VP Jorge Glas hospitalised after capture from embassy | Oneindia

Jorge Glas, Ecuador's former vice president, has been hospitalised following a tumultuous incident involving his removal from Mexico's embassy in Quito, which sparked a diplomatic dispute.

Reports indicate that Glas, who had refrained from eating for 24 hours while in prison, was subsequently transferred to the Guayaquil naval hospital after falling ill.

According to the SNAI prison authorities, he is now in stable condition.

Additionally, it was stated that the former official, who had been provided political asylum by Mexico and had resided in the embassy since December, following two corruption convictions by Ecuadorian courts, will continue to be under medical observation.

He is expected to be returned to prison soon.
