Following the recent double earthquake in Ecuador, the Committee for the Freedom of Political Prisoners is demanding a structural evaluation of the Rodeo I detention center. The organization expressed concern over potential new damages to the facility and criticized authorities for failing to establish preventative protocols. Currently, no safety measures appear to be in place to address the building’s vulnerability. This request comes amid fears for the safety of inmates housed within Rodeo I. The Committee utilized the social media platform X to voice their demands and highlight the lack of official action. They argue a proactive assessment is crucial to prevent further harm and ensure prisoner safety. The situation underscores broader concerns about infrastructure preparedness in earthquake-prone regions.
