TRULY NUMEROUS additional links to news articles and videos could be presented
here but these samples suffice to show the international nature of the blood issue.
Germany in Europe
A four months pregnant
Jehovah's Witness woman was brought bleeding heavily to the Asklepios Clinic in the Lich area of Giessen,
Hesse state. The 29 year old woman rejected blood transfusions and died killing both herself and her
unborn baby.
Her mother filed charges against the JW husband who had insisted that his wife not
receive emergency transfusions as well as the doctors who cooperated with him since the birthing woman had
a Watchtower-provided No Blood card. The office of Public Prosecuter Reinhard Hübner charged the husband and doctors with
manslaughter since death was involved. Text and a video in German appear below:

Colombia in South America
In 1998 on TV in Columbia the journalist Luz Adriana Betancourth discussed deaths Jehovah's Witnesses
in Colombia including that of the youth Alfonso Cáceres Villamizar in in 1996 in the city of Bucaramanga. On
TV Alfonso's father stated that Alfonso would still be alive and had another 5 to 10 years of life except
for Watchtower's meddling. The case led Colombia's Constitutional Court to decide "The State should
do everything possible, including ordering the administration of blood transfusions, to save a minor of this age."
