Ecuador's raid on the Mexican embassy in Quito, aimed at arresting graft-accused former Vice President Jorge Glas who had been granted political asylum, has led to Mexico severing diplomatic ties with Ecuador. This incident, widely condemned for violating the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, prompted Nicaragua and other countries to also break diplomatic relations with Ecuador. The UN chief and international leaders have expressed alarm and condemnation over the breach of diplomatic premises' inviolability. Mexico's diplomatic personnel are leaving Ecuador, and the country announced plans to file a complaint against Ecuador at the International Court of Justice and the United Nations. Amidst the crisis, Jorge Glas was reported to have attempted suicide in prison and is now in stable condition in a coma at a military hospital.
