28 Ecuadorian fishermen detained after Pacific interception, face hearing in Manta

Twenty-eight fishermen were intercepted in the Pacific and brought in handcuffs to Manta, Ecuador, where they were taken to the UVC (Unidad de Vigilancia Comunitaria) for a hearing. Families demand answers, but the reason for the interception and detention remains unclear. This appears to be an ongoing legal process, possibly related to illegal fishing or maritime boundary violations, though details are unconfirmed.
