Ecuador deports hundreds of Colombian inmates amid diplomatic tensions ...Middle East

The move follows Ecuadoran President Daniel Noboa’s 2024 announcement to reduce prison overcrowding by deporting foreign inmates.

“This action reaffirms the Ecuadoran government’s commitment to internal security and public order,“ SNAI said in a statement.

Bogota filed a formal complaint, calling the unilateral deportation a breach of international law and an “unfriendly gesture.” A Carchi governor’s office source told AFP that 870 inmates, roughly 60% of Colombians in Ecuador’s prisons, were slated for expulsion.

Ipiales Mayor Amilcar Pantoja stated that prisoners without pending legal cases in Colombia would be released. Ecuador’s rising violence, partly fueled by Colombian-linked drug gangs, has pushed its homicide rate from six per 100,000 in 2018 to 38 in 2024.- AFP
