🇪🇨⚠️ ☄️ — Ecuador's President, Daniel Noboa, has declared a state of emergency in the country, which will last for 60 days, following the escape of Jose Adolfo Macías, leader of Los Choneros, one of the main criminal organizations in the country, and a series of uprisings in at least six prisons involving the retention of prison guards and the burning of mattresses.

🚫 The state of emergency suspends rights to freedom of association, inviolability of domicile, inviolability of correspondence in prisons, and freedom of movement between 11 PM and 5 AM. Additionally, it allows the country's Armed Forces, in support of the police, to control prisons, as they have done on previous occasions.

💬 Noboa stated that the measure aims to provide full political and legal support to Ecuador's security forces in confronting the "narcoterrorist groups that seek to intimidate the government and society." He mentioned that he will not "negotiate with terrorists" and will work to "restore peace to all Ecuadorians."

❌ Noboa blamed factions linked to drug trafficking, contract killings, and organized crime for the prison crisis that has been occurring in the country for some years.

‼️ He claimed that some previous governments received orders from these factions on what to do. The action taken this Monday by his government aims to regain control of Ecuadorian prisons.
