Full details of the horrific ordeal to which an 11-year-old girl impregnated by an elderly rapist in Argentina was subjected by doctors intent on ensuring the baby survived for religious reasons have been disclosed by campaigners acting on her behalf.
The young girl, who is being called Lucia to protect her identity, became pregnant after being raped by her grandmothers 65-year-old partner, who has since been arrested. She was placed under her grandmothers care in 2015, after her two older sisters were reportedly abused by her mothers partner.
Lucia was forced to give birth after authorities in Argentina refused to let her have the abortion to which she was legally entitled triggering a wave of outrage around the world and reigniting a fierce debate on the countrys restrictive abortion rules.
After being admitted to hospital after two attempts to kill herself, Lucia underwent a Caesarean section at the end of February after 23 weeks of pregnancy. The baby died on International Womens Day on 8 March. Lucia was discharged from hospital yesterday.

They need to be shot.
