ECUADOR: Correa wins court case and threatens with new one
The offer of an apology came too late and the sentence was too harsh. Those are the respective views of: President Rafael Correa, who refused the offer of an apology from the board of the country’s biggest newspaper, El Universo, based in Guayaquil, regarding a libellous article it published concerning Correa’s alleged actions in the 30 September 2010 police uprising; and of the directors of the paper, the Pérez brothers - Carlos, César and Nicolás - who, together with the former comment-editor, Emilio Palacio, were sentenced by a stand-in judge, Juan Paredes, to three years in prison on 20 July.
