Mother in Glas Viejo Case Demands to be Included in the Process

Hunger strike for Glas Viejo Case

The mother of the girl allegedly raped by Jorge Heriberto Glas Viejo recently said, “I do not trust that judge (in reference to Edgar Macias Guerra) and so I asked that he be taken out of the case … he wanted to declare Jorge Glas Viejo innocent. For that they did not let me participate in the trial. ”

Last Tuesday the woman and her lawyers could not participate in the hearing supporting opinion, because in the previous days the judge Macias denied the private prosecution presented against the accused.

Yesterday she raised the hunger strike she was on that was supported by hundreds of people from Guayaquil, who put in a white cloth “If not for my protest and all the support people, that old man (Glas Viejo) would have been declared innocent by the judge and the prosecutor. “
