After 17 days of national strike in Ecuador, President Daniel Noboa’s government has detained 117 protesters opposing the elimination of fuel subsidies and police repression. Among those detained are 11 minors and 10 women, prompting social organizations and Indigenous movements to demand their immediate release. Additionally, at least five community leaders have reportedly disappeared after being arrested by military forces during mobilizations in the province of Cañar. This Wednesday, Ecuadorians continue to occupy the streets, denouncing the criminalization of protest, the removal of diesel subsidies, and the persistent lack of access to education and healthcare.
