Pisulí, Ecuador: Clandestine clinic to change sexual orientation shut down, 17 rescued

Authorities on Thursday rescued 17 people who had been held at a clandestine clinic where patients were subjected to electroshock and even rape, the Ecuadorian Attorney General’s Office said. The facility in question is the Union and Hope Clinic in Hacienda Pisuli, north of Quito, the daily El Telegrafo reported.
Also held at the clinic, which authorities raided Thursday morning, could possibly have been a young man named David Romo, who disappeared on May 16 in Quito, the AG’s office said. The Ecuadorian government in July revealed the existence of a network of clandestine centers ostensibly specializing in treating addictions and homosexuality where acts of torture were carried out and two people died during the past year.
