The Ecuadorian delegation was lead by Christian Social Party presidential candidate Cynthia Viteri, who were surrounded by armed patrols, uniformed, hooded, and undercover policemen and agents of the secret service (Sebin), held against their will at Sebin offices for several hours and later taken to the airport.
Rafael Correa denies that Viteri’s delegation was visiting in an official capacity.
