The special rapporteur for freedom of expression of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights Catalina Botero, has said in an interview conducted by the Colombian network NTN24, that it is an act of cynicism that former president Rafael Correa goes to the agency to request precautionary measures.

Botero, laughing, recalled that the Former president attacked “with a sum of indescribable adjectives” against the IACHR during a general assembly of the OAS held in Bolivia, “which does not attend the presidents, but the foreign ministers; but Rafael Correa attended in an unusual act, because the presidents do not go to the general assemblies of the OAS. ”

Rafael Correa maintained that the people who came to the IACHR, to exercise their rights, “considered them enemies of the State, treated them as enemies of the State.
