The Provincial Court of Pichincha accepted the habeas corpus filed on behalf of the Swedish computer scientist.
The Provincial Court of Pichincha accepted the petition of habeas corpus filed by Ola Bini on Thursday, June 20, and ordered the release of the Swedish computer scientist, who was arrested on April 11 on suspicion of having participated in a supposed network of espionage that infiltrated Ecuadorian government systems. Since then he remained in preventive detention in the Provisional Detention Center of El Inca, in Quito.
Bini’s lawyers, who claim to be innocent, have been trying for two months to have the judges commute the remand for bail, but on May 2, the Provincial Court of Pichincha ratified the prison order against him and the 29 that same month the request for bail was denied.
“I’m not at liberty, I’ll just get out of prison but I’m not free, as long as this illegal persecution continues, I’m not free,” Ola Bini said at the end of the hearing.
