<h3>Report from Ecuador - Democracy under Threat</h3>
</span>
SOA Watch has been monitoring the situation that has
been unfolding in Ecuador, which many have described
as a failed coup attempt. We congratulate the social
movements of Ecuador for impeding any possible coup.<br>
<br>
Yesterday morning, a large number of media reported
that the Ecuadoran military had seized the main
airport in Quito and that the police fired tear gas,
burned tires "after taking over bases in Quito,
Guayaquil and other cities." They also claim that an
Associated Press photographer "witnessed soldiers
participating in the action that shut down the main
terminal at Quito's Mariscal Sucre airport." On the
other hand, TeleSur reported that the police had
indeed launched a possible coup attempt but that the
response by the military was unknown.<br>
<br>
News from Ecuador kept pouring in as the events
unfolded throughout the day. After President Correa
was held hostage in a hospital by the police for 10
hours, Ecuadoran military forces moved in and freed
the President and returned him to the Presidential
palace.<br>
<br>
We continue to call on Latin American governments to
end the training of military and police personnel at
the U.S. School of the Americas, International Law
Enforcement Agencies (ILEA) or other institutions
that promote anti-democratic behavior.<br>
