Ecuadorian police breaks into Mexico’s embassy, sparking outrage| Know why it’s a big deal| Oneindia

The diplomatic rift between Mexico and Ecuador intensified dramatically following a dramatic incident where Ecuadorian authorities forcefully entered Mexico's embassy in Quito to apprehend Jorge Glas, the former vice president of Ecuador.

Glas, who was arrested late Friday, had previously been convicted of bribery and corruption charges and is still under investigation for other alleged offences.

The arrest sparked widespread condemnation from leaders across the Americas, leading Mexico's president to declare the severance of diplomatic relations with Ecuador.

Glas had sought asylum in Mexico and had been residing in the embassy since December, with Mexico granting asylum only on Friday.
