"On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the area surrounding the Constitutional Court in Quito was filled with protesters and public officials carrying signs exposing the Court's judges and blaming them for the country's insecurity. The march was organized at the request of President Daniel Noboa.
During the day, at least four journalists were physically attacked, some of whom were injured.

Arahí Vega, a journalist for the newspaper La Hora, was also prevented from reporting. She denounced this in a post on her personal X account. 'It doesn't matter what your credentials are or how you shout that you're a journalist, the protesters and government security made it almost impossible to get close,' she wrote. In the video accompanying the post, you can see how the police forcefully pushed the journalists and how the protesters also joined together to form a security cordon."
