Israeli receives settlement after his brother’s heart is harvested without family’s knowledge
Picture
The brother of Israeli entertainer Dudu Topaz agreed to a cash settlement in a lawsuit against a police forensic institute that removed Topaz’s heart during an autopsy after he committed suicide in prison, and then stored the organ.

The state agreed to pay Mickey Goldenberg NIS 300,000 ($84,550) in compensation for the incident, which took place at the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute, Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Tuesday.

Last May Goldenberg sued the institute and its former director Yehuda Hiss for NIS 2.5 million ($704,000) over the wrongful removal of his brother’s organ without the family’s knowledge.

In its defense statement the institute claimed it was an innocent mistake and that its actions were “impeccable.”

In March 2012 the state was forced to pay out NIS 3 million ($845,000) in compensation to the families of soldiers whose bodies were mishandled at Abu Kabir.

The families sued the state after they discovered that the institute had saved tissue and organs from the soldiers, as well as other individuals, after unauthorized autopsies.

The report noted that in his lawsuit Goldenberg stated that he would donate all of the money he receives to a charity organization that helps disabled people.

In January, investigations revealed that the institute, under the leadership Hiss, kept more than 8,000 body parts in storage.

Hiss had already admitted in 2005 that the institute had harvested heart valves, skin, and bones from the bodies, but said that the practice no longer took place.

Following the revelations in January, the Knesset held hearings on guidelines for handling dead bodies.

According to the Yedioth Ahronoth report, some of the labels on containers holding the body parts were too faded to allow the identification of their origin. Thousands of the organs have since been buried, including Topaz’s heart, which was interred in his grave.

Egg donors to be compensated with NIS 19,000

The Knesset's Labor, Welfare and Health Committee approved raising compensation sum to egg donors to NIS 19,000 ($5200) due to lack of donors. Since the bill to allow women to donate eggs in Israel was approved over a year and a half ago, only seven women had donated eggs, and were given NIS 10,000 ($2800).

The Health Ministry requested to raise the compensation total in order to increase the number of donors due to severe shortage of eggs.

Israeli Organ trafficking ring in Costa Rica
Picture
Costa Rican authorities declared that an organ trafficking ring, led by Israeli doctors which sold kidneys to patients in Israel, was busted. Costa Rican authorities announced on Wednesday that they had broken up an international organ trafficking ring that worked with Israeli doctors and specialized in selling kidneys to patients in Israel and East Europe, Haaretz Hebrew newspaper said.

A Costa Rican woman died on the flight back from Israel after selling her kidney through the organization, the newspaper added.

According to the authorities, donors were recruited in Costa Rica, and their kidneys removed in Israel, where the buyers were located.

"The patients who required the transplants were in Israeli territory, and some of the (trafficking) victims [had their kidney removed] here and others were transported to Israel," Costa Rica’s Attorney General, Jorge Chavarria, said.

Israel is one of the main destinations for trafficked organs, as the centerpiece for this disgusting practice. It is something that Israel has been accused of many times before.

Israeli medical error causes a child from Gaza to lose his four limbs

Picture
Palestinian citizen from the city of Khan Younis in the  southern Gaza Strip revealed that due to a medical error committed by one of the Israeli hospitals, his child has lost his hands and feet.

Abu Ahed Farra, 37, told PIC's reporter that their suffering has begun when his youngest son Mohammed, who was born in August 2009, started suffering from continuous diarrhea.

He said that doctors in Gaza were unable to diagnose his illness, so they moved him to an Israeli hospital, where he remained more than eight months hospitalized.

"During this period, there has been no improvement in the health condition of Mohammed" Farra said.

He added that in June 2011 the Israeli doctors injected the child with a dose of medication after which his condition has somewhat improved.

"Days after a nurse gave the child another dose without consulting the doctor, and the child's condition quickly worsened. He entered in a coma. The doctors injected him with the anti-dote and the child woke up. However, his skin color turned into black and the examinations showed that the blood was not reaching his hands and feet," the father said.

He added that they were shocked when they received an urgent request from the hospital demanding them to approve the amputation of the child's four limbs.

The family filed a lawsuit against the Israeli hospital, and the court decided that the hospital will pay all the costs of treatment and accommodation of the child in hospital.

Mohammed Farra, who will be four years old after few months, still suffers from a difficult health condition. He has not fully recovered from his illness, and ended up losing his limbs due to a medical mistake.

Occupation accused of selling organs of a Palestinian who died in jail

Picture
A Palestinian human rights center concerned in prisoners' issues accused the occupation authorities of trading with organs of a Palestinian martyr who passed away in Ashkelon prison in 1980.Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) said in a press statement on Tuesday that Israel, after 30 years, still denies the existence of the body of Palestinian martyr Anas Dawla.

It asserted that Dawla had been killed in the jails and that the Israeli authorities have been hiding his body and did not even allow burying him.

PPS has also revealed its belief that the Israeli side has been selling the organs of the martyr.

The occupation Supreme Court has issued a decision providing for rejecting the request to hand over Dawla's body to his family, under the pretext that it does not exist. The PPS considers this procedure as a crime.

The Palestinian human rights society demanded the formation of an international commission to investigate the series of crimes committed by the Israeli authorities against Palestinian prisoners, and to prosecute the Israeli leaders responsible for those crimes.

For its part, Palestinian Foundation of Health Work Committees urged for an international inquiry to uncover the circumstances of the death of captive Dawla in Ashkelon detention center, in light of recently raised investigations and media reports stating that the occupation soldiers and other Israeli bodies have been conducting experiments on the Palestinian martyrs' bodies and selling their organs.

The Foundation called for intensifying Palestinian and international efforts to free all the prisoners from Israeli jails, and to release the 240 bodies of Palestinian and Arab martyrs that are still held by the occupation authorities.

Head of Israeli IV unit arrested in Romania

Picture
Prof. Raphael Ron-El of Assaf Harofeh Medical Center arrested along with another Israeli in raid of medical practice with suspected involvement in extracting eggs from local women and illegally selling them.

The director of the in vitro fertilization unit at Assaf Harofeh Hospital was arrested in Romania Tuesday on suspicion of trading in human eggs.

Romanian police raided a private practice called Med New Life in Bucharest Tuesday on suspicion that it was involved in extracting eggs from local women and illegally selling them to patients needing an egg transplant.

The Israeli consulate in Romania reported to Prof. Raphael Ron-Elmanagement Tuesday that two Israelis were arrested in the raid − Prof. Raphael Ron-El, head of the hospital’s in vitro fertilization unit, and the lab technician accompanying him, Daphna Komarovsky.

Assaf Harofeh, located at the Tzrifin army base, issued a statement that “at this stage we have no details regarding the suspicions about those arrested.”

Romanian police also reportedly arrested a number of Romanian suspects and questioned 30 people on site about the clinic’s activities.

Foreign press reports claim the clinic illegally sold harvested ova from Romania to Israeli women. Police reportedly raided the homes of six Romanian employees of the clinic.

Romanian police announced that they believed the ova were harvested from women aged 18-30, some students, for amounts between 600 and 800 euros. The ova were then allegedly sold illegally to women abroad, some of them Israelis, for 3,000 to 4,000 euros.

According to Assaf Harofeh, Ron-El has been involved in IV treatments in Bucharest for 15 years and holds a license and a work permit from Romanian authorities.

“During all the years, Prof. Ron-El operated according to Israeli and Romanian law, and we are convinced that this time as well there is nothing exceptional in his behavior or that of Ms. Komarovsky. Prof. Ron-El’s work was done on a mission by the hospital according to signed agreements between the hospital, the researchers fund and the clinic in Romania. The hospital stands behind Prof. Ron-El and Ms. Komarovsky, and will do all it can to disperse the cloud of suspicion and for them to return as soon as possible.”

The Health Ministry stressed that Ron-El had a license to work with clinics in Romania, though he was forbidden from importing ova or fetuses from Romania to Israel for patient needs.

“It is not clear whether he did this,” the Health Ministry stated. “The license was given to Ron-El for activity in Romania under local law.”

The Health Ministry recognizes only three clinics abroad for IV fertilization of Israeli women. Two are located in Kiev, Ukraine, and one in Brno, Czech Republic.

This is not the first affair involving Israelis in the allegedly illegal purchase of ova in Romania. In a July 2009 raid on the Sabyc fertility clinic, police arrested, among others, Dr. Nathan Levitt, a senior doctor in the IV fertilization unit at the Bnei Zion hospital in Haifa, and Dr. Genya Ziskind, director of the IV fertilization unit at Bnei Zion and a world-renowned researcher in the field. Both were suspected of illegally trading ova.

The two, who were released from arrest, had their passports confiscated and were not permitted to leave Romania for four months, until diplomatic pressure and an organized effort led to their return to Israel.

A Romanian court sentenced Levitt, Ziskind and two other Israelis in absentia to five years in prison.

Israel admits giving contraceptive injections to Ethiopian immigrant women

Picture
A disturbing story of official racism in Israel. Haaretz reports:

Israel admits Ethiopian women were given birth control shots

A government official has for the first time acknowledged the practice of injecting women of Ethiopian origin with the long-acting contraceptive Depo-Provera.

Health Ministry Director General Prof. Ron Gamzu has instructed the four health maintenance organizations to stop the practice as a matter of course.

The story broke on Israeli television in December, and the government denied it. From the JTA:

Israeli and Jewish aid officials are denying an Israeli TV report alleging that Ethiopian immigrant women have been coerced into taking contraceptive shots.

The report, which aired Saturday night on Israeli Educational Television, charged that coercive contraception is behind a 50 percent decline in the Ethiopian birth rate in Israel over the last decade.

At that time, a Haaretz columnist appropriately summarized: “An inconveivable crime: Israel’s patronizing and inhumane treatment of Ethiopian women is nothing new.” Update. Tablet’s Yair Rosenberg says the government hasn’t admitted the coercive aspect; so I removed that word from my original headline. Today’s Haaretz report summarizes the coercive aspect in the original television report:   According to the program, while the women were still in transit camps in Ethiopia they were sometimes intimidated or threatened into taking the injection. “They told us they are inoculations,” said one of the women interviewed. “They told us people who frequently give birth suffer. We took it every three months. We said we didn’t want to.”

Attorney blames Palestinian victim for own death

Picture
The attorney for a police officer who ordered a seriously injured Palestinian man to be abandoned on a highway seeks to have his punishment reduced from 30 months imprisonment to community service.

An attorney for one of the police officers convicted of negligently causing the death of a Palestinian man in Israel illegally sought to lay part of the blame on the deceased in a court hearing on Thursday.

Lawyer Natalie Shtrull made her comments at an appeal hearing at the Jerusalem District Court for policemen Baruch Peretz and Assaf Yakutieli, both convicted in May 2012 for the negligent homicide of Omar Abu Jariban.

In 2008, Jariban, who had illegally entered Israel from Gaza, was seriously injured after a car he stole rolled over on Route 6. He was admitted to the hospital with broken bones and neurological injuries before being released in a state of confusion, still attached to a catheter.

After space was not found for him in a prison, he was left by police on the side of a highway near an army camp in the West Bank. His body was found there two days later. It was later determined that Jariban died of dehydration.

Peretz, who was the on-duty officer during the incident, was found guilty of authorizing Yakutieli to leave Jariban on the side of the road that night, unable to walk and still attached to a catheter. The two policemen were subsequently sentenced to 30 months in prison, with the trial judge terming their conduct "ugly and nauseating."

Shtrull argued in court that her client's sentence should be reduced to community service because Jariban was partly to blame for his own death. She justified her case by saying, "the fact that this was an illegal entrant who caused an accident on Route 6, hurt six people and didn't cooperate with and mocked police."

No document indicates that six people were injured. The number generally referred to is much less.

"Isn't he partly responsible?" Shtrull added. "Does he bear no responsibility?"
