Ecuador Prosecutor Investigating U.S. Boat Strikes Murdered

Prosecutor Investigating U.S. Boat Strikes Was Murdered in Ecuador

Alexandra Bravo, the prosecutor investigating U.S. drone strikes on Ecuadorian fishing boats and subsequent torture claims, was assassinated in Manta along with her sister. Despite evidence of extrajudicial killings under Operation Southern Spear, the U.S. government remains silent while Ecuadorian officials face internal pressure to drop the case. This murder marks a grim milestone in a wave of violence against justice system members, highlighting the dangers of probing state crimes involving foreign powers.
