POLITICS: Correa takes aim at critics
President Rafael Correa gave a characteristically robust response to the publication of the annual report of the US-based group Human Rights Watch (HRW) in late January. Correa remarked caustically that he would “not be able to sleep” and would immediately set about annulling Ecuador’s communications law because “the moral solvency of Human Rights Watch is incontestable”. The HRW report argued that the communications law approved by the national assembly in June 2013 contained “vague provisions that allow arbitrary prosecutions and censorship”. It also accused Correa of continuing “to use criminal defamation laws to target his critics”.
