Ecuador defends storming embassy: Lawyers say police conducted lawful arrest

Ecuador has defended its storming of the Mexican embassy in Quito last month. Its lawyers told judges at the International Court of Justice that the country acted to arrest ‘a common criminal’. Security forces arrested Ecuador’s former vice president, Jorge Glas, who had been granted political asylum by Mexico.
