Colombian Man dies under new Euthanasia policy
Colombia had depenalized assisted death in 1997, and in July 2021 a high court expanded this "right to dignified death" to those not suffering from a terminal illness.
It is the first Latin American country to take the step and one of the few in the world, and did so despite being mostly Roman Catholic. The church categorically opposes euthanasia and assisted suicide. Victor Escobar decided to die and to do so publicly, becoming one of the first Latin Americans to end their life without suffering from a terminal disease, under a ground-breaking court ruling in Colombia. Hours before dying on Friday, 60 year old Escobar celebrated what he called victory in his two-year battle with a lung ailment that left him unable to breathe on his own. Victor died in the city of Cali with doctors present. The last footage of him alive shows him smiling and surrounded by family. He was sedated and then given a lethal injection. In Europe only Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxemburg and Spain have legalized euthanasia. Colombia may have joined that list but access to the procedure is not always smooth.
SA’s former president and Gupta brothers misappropriated public money?
According to report received by President Cyril Ramaphosa from the South African Commission of Inquiry into State Capture from the chairperson of the Commission, Acting Chief Justice Raymond Zondo; South Africa’s former president Jacob Zuma along with Indian-origin Gupta brothers, who had “considerable” influence over him, misappropriated huge amount of public money. The scam included diverting millions of rands to enrich the now defunct The New Age newspaper, according to a probe report on corruption during Zuma’s tenure from 2009 to 2018. The report has been made public, however, the government said it will be able to comment on it only after studying all the three parts. The rest of the parts will be handed over to the president by February-end. The report said the Guptas wielded great influence over Zuma, as they set about looting billions from state enterprises before fleeing the country. The Commission also recommended that the law enforcement agencies should investigate a possible case of corruption against Tony Gupta.
