The Human Rights Council “is not in a position” to conclude whether Jorge Glas’s arrest was arbitrary

Posted On 23 Dec 2021

The Human Rights Council “is not in a position” to conclude whether the detention of the former vice president of the Republic, Jorge Glas, was arbitrary. This is one of the conclusions of the Council’s Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, which, in its 91st session, collected the opinions of former President Rafael Correa, also a former minister, sentenced for illicit association in the Odebrecht case and for bribery in the Bribery case.

The Working Group also decided to keep the case under review without prejudice to the possibility that Glas and the National Government “provide additional information” to determine whether or not the former vice president is a victim of arbitrary detention, as alleged by his defense and supporters of Correismo.

As a final conclusion, the Group decides to refer the case to the Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest possible level of physical and mental health; the Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment; and to the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial summary or arbitrary executions, in order that they take the measures they deem appropriate.
