Detienen en EE.UU a general ecuatoriano acusado de crímenes de lesa humanidad
El general ecuatoriano Edgar Vaca fue detenido en la capital de EE.UU., a petición de las autoridades del país andino, que le reclaman por su presunta implicación en crímenes de lesa humanidad, informó hoy el Ministerio del Interior de Ecuador en un comunicado.
Vaca y otros nueve generales y coroneles del Ejército y Policía fueron acusados por la Fiscalía General ecuatoriana por su presunta responsabilidad en la tortura, violencia sexual y desaparición forzada de tres exguerrilleros detenidos en 1985 acusados de tener vínculos con el grupo subversivo Alfaro Vive Carajo (AVC).
En ese caso, en el primero de delitos contra la humanidad que llegó a los tribunales ecuatorianos, el pasado 1 de octubre, se ordenó prisión preventiva, arresto domiciliario y prohibición de salir del país para los imputados por delitos de tortura, violencia sexual y desaparición forzada.
Se trata del caso de Susana Cajas, Luis Vaca y Javier Jarrín, quienes fueron detenidos en 1985 durante el Gobierno del fallecido expresidente León Febres Cordero (1984-1988), acusados de estar vinculados a AVC.
Entre 2007 y 2010, el Estado ecuatoriano investigó graves violaciones a los derechos humanos cometidas a partir de la década de los 80, para lo cual conformó la Comisión de la Verdad, uno de cuyos casos es el de Vaca, Cajas y Jarrín
Los tres fueron detenidos de forma "arbitraria", torturados y sometidos a violencia sexual, según la Comisión de la Verdad y Derechos Humanos de la Fiscalía.
Cajas y Jarrín fueron víctimas de tortura y violencia sexual durante dos semanas, mientras Vaca estuvo detenido por casi tres años, según la fuente.
El general Edgar Vaca, detenido en Washington y reclamado por Interpol Ecuador, ocupó diferentes cargos policiales hasta 2004, cuando abandonó la institución durante el Gobierno de Lucio Gutierrez que le otorgó dos de las más altas condecoraciones oficiales, señaló el Ministerio del Interior.
El Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas estadounidense notificó este miércoles que el general retirado fue arrestado y colocado en situación de deportación.
This sounds crazy
but I don’t read Spanish and would like more details
Ecuador is such a brutal dictatorship that they now use the US Dollar as their currency.
I kept looking for the button that says “Press 1 for English”...
Ecuador has turned into a radical leftist country and has, for some time, been pursuing anybody, ranging from bankers to military people, who stood in the way of this at the time. Ecuador knows it has the support of Holder and Obama now, so it is redoubling its efforts to attack these people and, if they’ve gotten out of the country, to get them returned for a kangaroo court trial.
Ecuador, of course, is one of the “emerging markets” responsible for the stock market melt-down; all of these newly leftist countries (leftist within the last few years) are doing so badly economically that they’re on the verge of collapse. But does anybody care how left-wing governments are tied to economic collapse? Apparently not. (There was a very good article in the WSJ a couple of days ago about this.)
Not to mention social collapse. Leftist Bolivia seems to believe it’s going to make a living by selling legalized cocaine, and Ecuador hopes to get in on the legalized drug trade - once it has exhausted the monies it seized from individuals and corporations when the left took over.
I’m not surprised in the least that Obama let this man be seized in our own country, in our own capital, in fact. He even ordered our immigration services to do it.
Moderator. Move to Noticia de última hora.
Great, now we’re posting documents in consideration of illegal immigrants that might come here once on a 1000 years.
Repeat slowly... “THIS IS THE USA. THE LANGUAGE HERE IS ENGLISH.”
Due process is the right of every man. Here’s hoping the General is allowed to exercise his rights.

(Translated with Google translate)
He is being arrested at the behest of the “Truth Commission” of the Ecuadorian Attorney General.
Basically, Ecuador, which has turned into a leftwing dictatorship, had US authorities seize this former general for “crimes against humanity.” They claim that he was involved in the torture of leftist prisoners before what was essentially a leftist take over of Ecuador.
It had been preceded by “labor actions” and leftwing violence throughout the country, and the General was involved in the army response to these disturbances and plots, although I highly doubt that he was involved in torture, as they claim, and in fact, I would be surprised if any official torture really happened. But Ecuador needs show trials to keep the people revved up, and in addition, they usually seize assets and thus get a little more money flowing into the empty government coffers.
The left is feeling very powerful, mostly because, seeing Obama’s example, they have realized that even economic failure and loss of liberties don’t seem to invalidate them with their faithful.
Made the mistake of thinking he could officially come here. Should have contacted friends here and hid out till Obama makes every illegal a citizen by fiat.
He would have been the exception.
Actually, my objection is to our LEGAL immigration policies. We keep out Latin Americans who just want to work here, and instead fill up the country with government-imported Muslim “refugees” from Africa, the ME and Russia who don’t want to work at all, live on welfare and other benefits, and hate us and want to destroy us. By those standards, since the General clearly does not hate us and want to destroy us and is not a Muslim, Obama wouldn’t let him stay.
Spanish? Now you tell me. I spent the last half hour trying to read it and just figured I was drunk. :)
vaca is “cow” in spanish. “Mensa” means stupid girl, as I remind a coworker who is a member.
So much for Google translate. LOL!
There was a reason why the ‘Nova’ didn’t sell well in Mexico. :)
0bama and Hillary began this administration by trying to sell out Honduras to a leftist thug.
I apologize that this is in Spanish. You are guaranteed not to find this in English US news. Alfaro Vive Carajo is a well know communist, terrorist organization that was involved in narco trade, bombing, ect. in Ecuador.
During a previous Ecuadorian president, the army, the police, and other civilian and government organization came together to put an end to the thugs who were killing police officers, bombing buildings, and terrorizing the country.
Correa the “president” that followed, decided to make an example of those people who fought against Alfaro Vive thugs, and has publicly threatened them and their families with jail and even hinted that they deserved death. Of course he claimed they were traitors, killers, blah blah blah.
My cousin is afraid of talking over the phone about this with me, but says it is all true except for the fact that the General is a criminal. He is an amazing man, and did what any one of us would do to protect our country, besides they were following orders. There were hundreds of people involved in fighting Alfaro Vive, they have all been threatened. They have been silenced, and some even disappeared.
The fact that this country would turn Government officials seeking political asylum like that, says it all. It is as if all those Americans fighting the Muslim Brotherhood in Afganistan were suddenly called traders and killers and told that they along with their families were criminals and deserved to die.
The US government KNOWS what Alfaro Vive is. They know what happened. They are in cahoots with dictators!!!
Thank you. No need to apologize. It is interesting information and I thank you for filling in with your own details. This bears watching.
Why did you think it was approptiate to post an article in Spanish.
