Ecuadorian fishermen describe as "martyrdom" what they experienced when military forces intercepted and sank their boat during joint operations between the United States and Ecuador against drug trafficking in the Pacific. The operations left four vessels destroyed in just over a week.
The identified fishermen are Eduardo Holguín, 41 years old, and Juan Carlos Posligua, 44 years old. Both were removed from the vessel and taken to a police station after the interception.
The operations are part of joint efforts between the United States and Ecuador to combat drug trafficking in the Pacific region. The article is exclusive for subscribers and was partially unavailable.
