Ecuador: Rights Group Demands Probe into Alleged Military Torture at Esmeraldas Prison

A rights organization has filed a complaint over a video allegedly showing military personnel torturing inmates at Esmeraldas prison, urging prosecutors and the ombudsman to investigate. The claim is based on unverified footage, and the military's role in prison security amid Ecuador's gang crackdown is under scrutiny. This could fuel domestic political and legal tensions over security force conduct.
