Tense court session in the case of Ella Tanus
21-6-2018
Flagrant disregard to the lives of Lebanese citizens, namely children, continues in Lebanon. In this respect, a court hearing was held yesterday in the case of child Ella Tanus who lost her arms and legs as a result of alleged medical malpractice (c.f: http://lkdg.org/ar/node/13147). The session, which was devoted for the report of the head of the medical committee that determined numerous medical mistakes, has triggered tension among those present at the hearing, including Single judge in Beirut, Bassem Takieddine, and the defendants, particularly that the child was there with her parents. Ella’s mother placed her child on the counter before the judge which enraged the defendant’s attorney who accused her of ‘using her own daughter’, Al Mustaqbal reported. After a swap of accusations between both sides, the judge intervened to put an end to the controversy asking all parties to work things out to the end of helping the child, who is, after all, the main issue. The hearing was adjourned till November to listen to witnesses. (AL Mustaqbal, June 20, 2018)
