- more than 100 attacks on journalists
- media outlets' signals were cut (by govt)
- "worrying pattern of alleged arbitrary detentions"
- reports of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment during arrests
- in many cases, due process was not followed

Ecuador: Oct 3-13 State of Exception - "detainees were held incommunicado, transferred to unauthorized places of detention, access to lawyers was often delayed or obstructed" - "persistent discrimination against indigenous peoples should be of concern" https://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=25368&LangID=E …pic.twitter.com/wqPwHjgqW7
But in true UN fence-sitting style condemns ... "as well as looting and destruction of public and private property." Don't they get it? The UN can hold governments to account, not crowds venting against a neoliberal dictatorship the best way they can
What got me is that they said that media was taken off the airwaves and didn't mention that it was by the state..not by protesters. Some vandals (separate from Indigenous movements) may have threatened outlets but it was @Lenin's govt who censored, cut their signal.
The elites are treating the people like a foreign invading army.
