This Friday, the Brazilian Ministry of Health published an ordinance that obliges health professionals to notify the police when they attend patients who ask to have an abortion due to a violation, which generated criticism from female deputies.
The ordinance, which defines new rules for assistance in situations of abortion in the cases provided for by law, as is the case for sexual violation, refers to the “mandatory notification to the police authority by the doctor, other health professionals or those responsible for the health establishment they have welcomed. the patient in cases where there is evidence or confirmation of the crime of violation “.
“The aforementioned professionals must preserve possible material evidence of the crime of rape to be handed over immediately to the police authority, such as fragments of embryos or fetuses with a view to conducting genetic confrontations that may lead to the identification of the respective author of the crime, under the terms of the law. “, adds the ordinance.
The document, published in the Federal Official Gazette, also establishes a series of measures that must be followed by health teams so that pregnant women have access to the pregnancy termination procedure, including the duty for doctors to inform women of the possibility if she sees the fetus or embryo on ultrasound, if she so wishes.
According to experts heard by the local press, this measure is considered a way to demote the patient from consummating abortion.
The text also requires women to sign a consent form with a list of possible complications that terminating a pregnancy may cause.
In view of this ordinance, a group of 10 federal deputies submitted to Congress a draft legislative decree to annul the measure.
In the proposal, deputy Jandira Feghali, from the Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB), stressed that the new rule restricts the rights of women victims of sexual violence.
“In practice, the ordinance makes the care of women and girls victims of sexual violence in health services unfeasible, when making such demands”, wrote the deputy, cited by the newspaper O Globo.
“We received the rule as a reaction to the recent case of judicial authorization for the termination of pregnancy of a child of just 10 years old and not with the technical basis that should guide public policies. This is unacceptable”, added Jandira Feghali.
The deputy referred to the case of a 10-year-old girl, who this month needed a judicial authorization to abort, after being raped by an uncle over several years, and ending up pregnant.
The case, which caused national commotion, led several protesters to gather in front of the hospital where the child was to terminate the pregnancy and called the medical team responsible for the case “murderous”.
Currently, abortion is only allowed in Brazil when the pregnancy is the result of a rape, when there is a risk of life for the woman and if the fetus is anencephalic (malformation that consists of the absence of a brain or part of it).
Other parliamentarians joined in criticizing the executive’s ordinance.
“This ordinance has many themes that harm human dignity. It practically makes legal abortion unfeasible, because it creates a series of difficulties to discourage the victim. Many of them do not even know that they can perform legal abortion, creating an obligation to notify the police only makes it difficult. The role of the Ministry of Health is to ensure that women do not suffer new violence “, said deputy Sâmia Bonfim, from the Socialism and Freedom Party (PSOL), to Globo.
Also from PSOL, deputy Fernanda Melchionna accused the interim Minister of Health, Eduardo Pazuello, of “institutionalizing the torture of women who were raped”.
Seven minors were arrested this Sunday in Israel on suspicion of involvement in an alleged rape of a 16-year-old teenager, in which about 30 youths participated, an event that angered the country and provoked strong rejection.
The suspects, detained this morning in the context of the ongoing investigation, are being questioned, a police spokesman told Spanish news agency Efe, adding that there are already 10 people detained.
The alleged violation occurred in the middle of this month, when the young woman visited the tourist town of Eilat, situated on the shores of the Red Sea, with a friend, and later reported that she was raped by a large group of drunken men.
According to the version of one of the suspects, a group of men lined up at the entrance to a hotel room and, one by one, went in to have sex with the teenager.
The number of people involved – about thirty – generated a great deal of social unrest in the Israeli media and, last Thursday, provoked demonstrations in different parts of the country.
The biggest demonstration was in Tel Aviv, where more than a thousand people gathered in the city center to show solidarity with the alleged victim and demand stronger policies against sexual violence.
The controversy surrounding the case also led to the authorities being condemned.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was “not just a crime against the young woman, but a crime against humanity” and called for those responsible to be brought to justice.
The uncle who impregnated a 10-year-old niece was arrested at dawn on Tuesday, announced the governor of the state of Espírito Santo. “May it serve as a lesson for those who insist on committing a brutal, cruel and unacceptable crime of this nature. Details of the operation will be passed on by the security team today,” said Renato Casagrande, through social networks.
The suspect was arrested in Betim, Minas Gerais, and will be sent to the Xuri Penitentiary Complex, in Vila Velha, on the outskirts of Vitória, capital of Espírito Santo.
The pregnancy was known on the 7th, when the girl went to a health unit still in São Mateus, a small town 200 kilometers from Vitória, complaining of abdominal pain. At the time, she revealed that since she was 6 years old she had been raped by an aunt’s husband. The man arrested this morning, aged 33, was indicted for the crimes of threat and rape of the vulnerable.
The girl’s mother died recently and her father is in prison.
The case gained even more repercussion in Brazil because the girl was called a murderer by a group of anti-abortion protesters when she entered the hospital in Recife, northeastern Brazil, where she performed the procedure, provided by law in these cases.
She is out of danger and stable, according to the medical report of the director of the health unit.
According to those protesters, who, led by three Christian parliamentarians, made a cord around the hospital, the pregnancy had already exceeded 20 weeks, which would make medical intervention illegal. The limit in Brazil for abortion when the woman is a victim of rape is 22 weeks’ gestation and 500 grams of fetus weight.
The police had to intervene to defend the unit’s doctors, also called killers.
The girl arrived in Recife, capital of the state of Pernambuco, after traveling, accompanied by her grandmother and a social worker, from Vitória because the hospital she had visited in the capital of her state had refused to have an abortion, asking her to to return in the coming weeks – however, the girl contracted gestational diabetes and was at risk of life if she remained pregnant. Later, the hospital’s spokeswoman justified the decision for “medical and technical reasons”, refusing to have “ideological or religious bias”.
On Friday, Judge Antônio Moreira Fernandes responded to a request from the Public Ministry, in favor of terminating the pregnancy. In the decision it is written that “abortion over 20 to 22 weeks is legitimate and legal in cases of pregnancy resulting from rape, risk to the woman’s life and fetal anencephaly”.
On the trip, on a commercial plane, the child’s identity was supposed to have been kept anonymous, but Sara Winter, a former activist with the Semen feminist group, meanwhile converted to the fight against abortion and the leader of a radical armed group in support of President Jair Bolsonaro revealed it on social media, sparking protests outside the hospital.
Jurists heard by the Brazilian press claim that Winter could be detained because of the disclosure. The profiles of thefar-right on social networks have already been blocked.
Although the case, as it has become the scene of yet another ideological war in Brazil, has been treated as unprecedented, official data reveal that there are, on average, six daily hospitalizations for abortions involving girls aged 10 to 14 years who became pregnant after violations , reveals BBC Brazil. These cases involve procedures performed in the hospital and hospitalizations after spontaneous abortions or performed at home, for example.
The number is even small compared to the number of violations of children and adolescents that occur in Brazil: every hour, four girls up to 13 years old are raped in the country, according to the Brazilian Yearbook of Public Security 2019.
A 13-year-old girl was found dead after being raped, strangled and mutilated in Uttar Pradesh, near the Nepal border in India. Speaking to Indian television NDTV, the girl’s father said, visibly disturbed, that the body was found with his eyes taken out and his tongue cut off.
The young woman had disappeared last Friday afternoon. The family still searched, but the body was eventually discovered in a sugarcane field near his home.
The Uttar Pradesh state prosecutor denies that the girl was found with the mutilated eyes or tongue, but admitted that she had scratches close to the eyes, which she says were probably caused by the sharp leaves of the sugar cane.
The district police chief revealed that the autopsy on the girl’s body confirmed the violation.
“The two accused have already been arrested. We are going to file cases for violation, murder and also under the National Security Law,” the police force said. Police also confirmed that one of the men arrested was the owner of the camp where the girl was discovered.
Last week, another six-year-old girl was kidnapped and raped in the western part of the same state where the body of the 13-year-old girl was found.
According to the Russian woman, they tried to contact her several times from the consulate in Haifa so that she would give explanations and that her daughter would come and write a refusal to vote.
“It was a very strange conversation, such pressure. Today they called me again, invited me to a meeting, but I’m afraid to appear on the territory of Russia and don’t understand what they want from me, ”added Yael Ilinski.
Ilyinsky wrote about her repeated voting on constitutional amendments on her Facebook page. According to her, all she managed to vote on the amendments three times – at the embassy in Tel Aviv, at the consulate in Haifa and through electronic voting. “They don’t ask you whether you are registered by electronic voting, and they don’t check it,” she wrote, adding that the ballot was also given to her underage daughter.
After that, the Central Election Commission (CEC) of Russia threatened Ilyinsky with criminal liability for multiple voting. In accordance with Part 2 of Art. 142.2 of the Criminal Code of Russia, for the illegal issuance and receipt of a ballot more than two times a fine of up to 300 thousand rubles is provided. or imprisonment for up to three years.
Maya Grishina, secretary of the Central Election Commission of Russia, explained that Russians can cast their vote abroad only after they appear. At the moment, there is no single electronic system and electronic lists for Russians living in different countries, so the electoral commission, according to her, relies only on the integrity of voters. If, according to her, “a citizen will be unscrupulous” and will vote in several polling stations or in different countries, criminal liability is envisaged. Grishina emphasized that this punishment is insurance of violations.
Police voted twice for Lobkov
A spokesman for the Russian president Dmitry Peskov, asking journalists if they should be punished several times to identify violations in the voting system, did not answer, but expressed confidence that the CEC would take into account all the imperfections of the system.
“If there are signals of any gaps or imperfections, I have no doubt that the CEC will take measures to clarify and, where necessary, make adjustments and improve working methods,” he concluded.
Cloving hospital on the basis of the Medical Scientific and Educational Center (ISSC) Moscow State University named after M.V.Lomonosov took the first patients on April 21 and completed his work on June 13. It turned out that it was possible to achieve the best treatment results for COVID-19 in Moscow. Over the entire period, 4 patients died, and among severe patients who got mechanical ventilation, the mortality rate was less than 14% (for comparison, the average for the city and the world was up to 70 – 80%). Eighteen doctors out of 220 employees of the hospital were infected with coronavirus, there were no deaths among the medical staff.
What approaches were used at the University Hospital of Moscow State University to achieve such results? We continue the conversation with the head. Department of Therapy, Faculty of Fundamental Medicine, Moscow State University, Head of the Department of Age-Associated Diseases, Medical Scientific and Educational Center, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Cardiologist Yana Orlova.
MEDICINE FOR COUGH FOR 80 RUBLES
– Most of those who are ill or are afraid to get sick are worried about fibrotic changes in their lungs. They say that you have developed special therapy that can reduce the risk of developing fibrosis. Is it possible?!
– Yes, we launched an appropriate clinical study. There are no final results yet, but we have developed clinical practice.
“What did you do to save the lungs?”
– We used a combination of bromhexine and spironolactone (both are long-known very cheap drugs. – Ed.). Bromhexine is an expectorant that has been prescribed to patients with pneumonia and cough for many years. At the same time, experimental data showed that this drug can block a specific enzyme and impede the penetration of coronavirus into cells. True, it was on this effect that we counted to a lesser extent in inpatients, since such an effect is important mainly in the early stages of the disease. But the expectorant effect of bromhexine really helps patients with COVID. I heard that our colleagues in Peter launched a study of bromhexine for prophylactic purposes. We will wait for the results.

FIBROSIS OBSTACLE
– The second drug – spironolactone – is traditionally widely used in cardiology for the treatment of heart failure, severe hypertension. It has a small diuretic, magnesium and potassium-preserving effect, continues Yana. Orlova. – It has several mechanisms through which it can be useful in coronavirus infection.
Firstly, a mechanism that prevents the development of fibrosis in general in the body. There are works that, in particular, show that spironolactone reduces fibrosis in the heart. At the same time, it is known that the tendency to fibrosis is not local, but systemic – where there is more inflammation, there will certainly be fibrosis. And we see, of course, fibrotic changes in the “covide” in our patients. Therefore, we prescribed spironolactone as a drug for the prevention of this process.
Secondly, this drug blocks sex hormone receptors, in particular testosterone. Some published studies suggest that “high-testosterone” men suffer from “covid” more often and develop more severe fibrotic changes. Therefore, blocking these receptors for several weeks during COVID treatment may be useful in reducing the severity of complications. We are not talking about a longer intake, since male patients are unlikely to agree with a decrease in testosterone levels in the long term.
And perhaps the most important point. In almost all of our patients, we observed hypokalemia (a decrease in potassium levels. – Ed.). With coronavirus infection, potassium is intensely excreted from the body, and scientific articles even suggest that hypokalemia serves as the trigger for a cytokine storm. So spironolactone has a real chance to reduce the risk of this dangerous complication. But the main thing, in my opinion, is that lowering the level of potassium in the body is extremely harmful to the heart and triggers life-threatening rhythm disturbances, increasing the risk of sudden death. We, like all others, replenished potassium with droppers, but it was more effective to retain it in the body with the help of spironolactone.

WHEN PRESCRIBED PATIENTS
– Yana Arturovna, how many patients did you have on average?
– About 10 – 14 days. But someone and 50 days.
– Have you noticed signs by which it can be assumed that the disease in the person brought is likely to go the hard way?
– Such studies were carried out in the world, our clinical practice confirmed them. Men certainly get worse than women; the elderly are heavier than the young; overweight people are heavier than overweight patients. Men with a classic male type of baldness, a lot of facial hair, we can say brutal men get sick harder.
– Under what conditions did you discharge patients?
– We acted as close as possible to the recommendations Ministry of Health: so that the temperature for three days was not higher than 37.5 degrees; so that C-reactive protein (an indicator of inflammation) is lower than 10 mg / l, and saturation, that is, the level of oxygen in the blood, is higher than 96%.
“HEAD OF EPIDEMIOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF ITSELF WORKED AT SANPROPUSNIK”
– How often do you get sick doctors and nurses?
– In the first month no one got sick at all. We have a very powerful epidemiological service. The head of the sanitary-epidemiological department, a senior researcher, correctly organized the whole process, and for the first two weeks she personally worked in the sanitary inspection room at the exit from the “red zone” and helped doctors and nurses who were exhausted after the shift safely remove protective clothing.
Then both people’s fatigue and viral load accumulated. By the middle of the second month, sick people began to appear. There were no seriously ill patients. We treated part of the staff in our observation, part of it was treated at home. In total, 18 people were infected from the medical staff (less than 10%).
– Doctors take something for prevention? Vitamins C, D, Zinc?
– I saw the recommendations of American nutritionists, they speak out positively about taking zinc, melatonin and vitamin C. There were somewhat conflicting data on vitamin D. But we did not give any such recommendations to our employees. We have all the prevention was associated with minimizing contacts and other measures of epidemiological safety.
Physicians are the heroes of our time.“If you think that you are special and that a pandemic will not affect you, you are deeply mistaken,” listen to what the doctors who are fighting with coronavirus say

Not to comply with the containment is a crime, according to the sages. The constitutional Council has validated this Friday, the criminal offence of breach of containment, created by the law of the state of a health emergency, a crime denounced as “tinkered “ but determined to be sufficiently accurate and, therefore, “compliant “ to the basic Law.
The Board “judge that the legislator has adequately determined the scope of the obligation “ made to the citizens and “dismiss the complaint alleging breach of the principle of legality of criminal offences and penalties “, he explained in a press release.
The offence created by article L. 3136-1 of the French public health code provides that a person verbalized more than three times for breach of the containment in a time frame of 30 days is punishable by a sentence of six months imprisonment and a 3,750 euro fine.
A “need to display” repressive
The sages were seized by the Court of cassation, which examined in may a number of priority issues of constitutionality (QPC) for this article.
In front of the constitutional Council, the lawyers of the applicants had étrillé a text adopted in “precipitation “the “one-upmanship “responding to a “need to display “ repressive, and that had seriously undermined the human rights, including that of a “effective remedy “.
They had indeed noted that the legal time limit for contesting the ticket was 45 days (and increased to 90 under a state of emergency), while the new offence provides for a repetition of the offence (more than three times) “within 30 days “.
What would happen to a man sentenced to jail in case of cancellation of one or all of its citations contested within the legal time limits, had they asked.
The outputs of” exception ” in question
They were also asked about the definition of a “family reasons, urgent “ or a “the purchase of first necessity “, reasons that could justify the output, demonstrating citation for purchase “a pregnancy test “ or “protections hygienic “.
The Council has decided, and judge that “nor the concept of verbalization, which refers to the process of drawing up a report of the offence, or the reference travel is strictly necessary for family needs and health are of vagueness or equivocation “.
In addition, “by retaining as a constitutive element of the offence that the person has been previously verbalized on more than three occasions, the legislature has not adopted the provisions imprecise “. In particular, emphasizes the Council, “these provisions do not allow a same output, which constitutes a single violation of the prohibition to go out, can be verbalized on several occasions “.
The constitutional Council also notes that the legislature has already made “two exceptions to the travel is strictly necessary to the needs of family and health “ and that it “has not excluded that the regulatory authority provides for other exceptions “.
A judgment ” for the future “
The applicants, who wished to censure, immediate, had challenged the constitutional Council on the future : “You don’t judge only for the past “ but also “for the future “launched the lawyer Bertrand Périer. “The repressive system remains “was it, stressing that there were still “constraints “as the mask-wearing compulsory in the transport, and thus a potential punishment at the time “illegal “ and “disproportionate “.
During the confinement, when all the travel, non-essential were banned, 1.1 million of fines have been upright for more than 20 million checks, according to an assessment given in mid-may by the minister of the Interior, Christophe Castaner.
