Indi Gregory's parents' appeal to prevent the detachment of the machines keeping her alive has been rejected. The English judges decided this at the end of today's hearing.
The deadline for removing life support is now set for Monday.
The news comes from Jacopo Coghe, spokesperson for Pro Vita & Famiglia onlus, and from lawyer Simone Pillon, who are following the developments of the Italian side of the story in contact with the English lawyers and the little girl's family.
The Italian government, which granted citizenship to the terminally ill little girl to allow her to be treated at Bambino Gesù in Rome which offered to welcome her, has appealed to Great Britain to transfer the little girl to Italy in the name of the Hague Convention of 1996.
Giorgia Meloni wrote a letter to the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice of the United Kingdom "in order to raise awareness among the English judicial authorities" to make it possible for the little girl "to access the health protocol of an Italian pediatric hospital". The letter aims to unblock the situation "in good time so that India can access this possibility in the spirit of collaboration that has always characterized the two countries".
