"Ecuador's Former VP Glas Illegally Arrested, Must Remain in Jail Despite Court Ruling"

His defense team plans to appeal the ruling, arguing for his freedom. The arrest had sparked international tensions, leading to a spat between Mexico and Ecuador, with Mexico filing a complaint with the International Court of Justice.
