The Ombudsman acted actively to join in the storm surrounding the high-profile case of the “14-year-old girl” and the refusal to perform an abortion. And when it turned out that we were talking about a 24-year-old, Marcin Wiącek’s office didn’t even remove old entries with false information!
Last week the media reported that a 14-year-old girl with an intellectual disability was sexually abused by her uncle and became pregnant as a result. The case was reported to the law enforcement authorities, and the girl received a statement from the prosecutor about the existence of a condition for the admissibility of termination of pregnancy. The 14-year-old girl and her aunt were going to try to have an abortion in hospitals near their place of residence, but failed because the doctors invoked the conscience clause.
So many media reports. and yet? The National Prosecutor’s Office informed PAP on Friday that “one of the public prosecutor’s offices in the Białystok region is conducting an investigation into this case”.
The procedure involves bringing a victim who is helpless due to her state of health at the age of 24 (and not 14 as reported by the media) for sexual intercourse
– Prosecutor Łukasz Łapczyński reported that.
She is referred to as “14-year-old” on the Ombudsman’s website
After the first media information on this matter, Marcin Wiącek, the Ombudsman for Civil Rights, contacted the Ministry of Health and the National Health Fund. The Ombudsman even appeared in the media and commented on the reports. And as we already know, only reports. And what did Wiącek’s office do after the information from the prosecutor’s office? Well… nothing!
This fake news is still hanging on @BiuroRPO’s channels and website. There is no dementia, although the case has been cleared up and is an example of an extremely crude and socially damaging lie by Federa. Is the Office of the Ombudsman a serious office?
– noted Piotr Pałka, who provides screenshots of submissions from the Human Rights Commissioner’s Office, which are still “hanging” on the Internet.
Grotesque translations of “Federa”!
It doesn’t stop there! The president of the Foundation for Women and Family Planning “Federa” Krystyna Kacpura admitted that she has not verified the age of the girl who became pregnant as a result of sexual abuse and who was allegedly denied an abortion in Podlasie.
She explained that during a conversation with her aunt, the girl activists learned that she was a teenager, although the woman might as well have said the girl was “like a 14-year-old”.
We wish it was just a grim joke. Where is the seriousness of the ombudsman and NGOs, who – when it is necessary to unleash a media storm – act so quickly?
