WRITTEN QUESTION E-1182/03 by Marco Pannella (NI), Emma Bonino (NI), Marco Cappato (NI), Gianfranco Dell’Alba (NI) and Benedetto Della Vedova (NI) to the Commission
8.4.2004 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 88 E/341 (2004/C 88 E/0347) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1182/03 by Marco Pannella (NI), Emma Bonino (NI), Marco Cappato (NI), Gianfranco Dell’Alba (NI) and Benedetto Della Vedova (NI) to the Commission (1 April 2003) Subject: Individual cases of arbitrary arrest and torture of Montagnards (Degar) by the Vietnamese authorities On 15 March 2003, the Montagnard Foundation and ABC Radio Australia reported that, at around 7 a.m. on 24 February 2003, security officials arrested the following Montagnards (Degar) from the village of Buon Cuor Knia (Buon Don district, in the province of Dak Lac) who were members of the Transnational Radical Party: Y-Phan Buon Krong, born in 1950, Y-Be Nie, born in 1945, Y-Pen Buon Ya, born in 1970, Y-Glen Buon Krong, born in 1976 and Y-Gun Hwing, born in 1974. These persons were arrested because they were suspected of supporting the Montagnard Foundation, of being Christians and of collecting the names of Montagnards wishing to join an NGO with consultative status at the UN (the Transnational Radical Party), which promotes the enforcement of human rights world-wide by non-violent means. They were handcuffed and beaten unconscious with clubs and rocks in front of their relatives; in particular, the security officials repeatedly smashed the knees of Y-Phan Buon Krong and Y-Glen Buon Krong with a large rock. The five men were then taken to the Buon Don district prison. The Vietnamese officials who tortured each of them in turn are Nguyen Truong That and Pham Huu Nhat, both of whom had been sent to the Central Highlands by the government authorities in Hanoi.

XV Congresso Associazione Luca Coscioni 6 E 7 Ottobre 2018 Università Degli Studi Di Milano “La Statale”
1 XV Congresso Associazione Luca Coscioni 6 e 7 ottobre 2018 Università degli studi di Milano “La Statale” Relazione all’assemblea del Segretario Filomena Gallo Insieme alla donna vitruviana vi diamo il benvenuto al XV Congresso dell'Associazione Luca Coscioni che si tiene per il secondo anno consecutivo presso una Università. Quest’anno siamo all'Università La Statale di Milano, che ringrazio tutta - a partire dal Magnifico Rettore Elio Franzini - per la generosa ospitalità iniziata già ieri con le due conferenze internazionali. E un ringraziamento particolare va, per questo, al prezioso aiuto di Lucia Colombo, Vittoria Brambilla e Graziella Messina. E ancora a Radio Radicale che segue i lavori e ci consente di arrivare a coloro che non sono riuscito a raggiungerci; grazie, per questo, ad Alessio Falconio e Paolo Chiarelli. Abbiamo intitolato questo congresso "Le Libertà in Persona", un termine che forse ricorda i titoli delle encicliche papali, ma che riassume efficacemente quello che abbiamo fatto, facciamo e continueremo a fare grazie al vostro sostegno e al sostegno di decine di migliaia di donazioni, oltre che della fiducia di più di 2000 iscritti per il 2018! Grazie infine a tutti i compagni della Cellula di Milano e ai membri della giunta dell’associazione e dello staff che tecnicamente hanno lavorato all’organizzazione di questa assemblea. Vedo in questo momento l’arrivo di Anna e Rodolfo Coscioni che sono qui come ogni anno dall’inizio della vita di questa Associazione voluta da Luca nel 2002, un grazie e un abbraccio. Per convocare il Congresso abbiamo scelto di rivisitare un disegno di Leonardo da Vinci, questo disegno è l'Uomo Vitruviano, perché rappresenta le proporzioni ideali del corpo umano, ci dimostra la perfetta armonia delle forme iscrivendole nel cerchio, che rappresenta l'universo, e che sovrasta il quadrato che simboleggia la Terra.

Assisted Suicide: Article 17 of the Italian Code of Medical Ethics Follows in the Footsteps of the Italian Constitutional Court’S Landmark Ruling
European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences 2020; 24: 10309-10312 Assisted suicide: article 17 of the Italian Code of Medical Ethics follows in the footsteps of the Italian Constitutional Court’s landmark ruling Dear Editor, Less than a year ago, on September 25th 2019, the Italian Constitutional Court issued a land- mark decision on assistance in dying, thus setting a long-awaited standard in terms of regulating assisted suicide1. The ruling related to the case of Fabiano Antoniani, also known as DJ Fabo, a man in his forties who had made a pondered, steadfast decision to receive assistance in dying at a Swiss euthanasia clinic in 2017. Fabiano was left blind and tetraplegic in the aftermath of a catastrophic road accident in 2014. His death has since become the subject of heated debate in a country, such as Italy, where euthanasia, whether active (i.e., doctors actively causing the patient’s death) or passive (the self-administration by the patient of lethal drugs to end his or her life, the way Fabiano ended his), is adamantly opposed by the Catholic Church. Italy’s Constitutional Court has made it clear that euthanasia should be permitted by law in certain circumstances, including those in which a patient’s irreversible condition was “causing physical and psychological suffering that he or she considers intolerable”. The court’s ruling was centered around assisted dying and the “legal framework concerning end of life [situations]”. A request had in fact been made by a Milan court to provide a clear interpretation of the law in the trial against pro-euthanasia politician, activist and campaigner Marco Cappato, who had actively helped Antoniani with his journey to a Swiss clinic which pro- vides assisted suicide.

Yet politicians and policy makers1 must attempt to predict the future or at least take measures to amend the mistakes of the past. Scientifi c research is a good from which we all benefi t. We all profi t from living in a society that pursues scientifi c research.
