Prosecutor Chiriboga delivered a proposed amendment to President Correa

While the plenary of the Assembly plans to adopt until December 2 in the first debate the report on amendments to the Constitution proposed by the ruling party, a new approach to change arises from the General Prosecutor office of the State.

The Prosecutor Galo Chiriboga announced he gave to President Rafael Correa a proposed amendment so that the serious violations of human rights and crimes against humanity be tried even in the absence of the accused. “The right of the defendants is not violated with this, because they have the guarantee of the due process,” he said.

Chiriboga made the remarks during a tribute to the families of those who died in a pharmacy during a police operation in 2003, now known as the ‘Gonzalez and others’ case, in the city of Guayaquil.
