Deadly Alfie gets Italian passport

rome - A seriously ill British child has received Italian nationality. This should enable the parents of the 23-month-old Alfie Evans to bring their son 'immediately' to Italy, the Italian news agency ANSA.

The fate of Alfie has increased the mood in Great Britain. The parents want their child to be admitted to an Italian hospital, but British doctors think the treatment should be ended. The child suffers from a rare degenerative brain disorder. British judges ruled earlier that it is pointless to treat him further because there is no hope of recovery.

About two hundred parents' parents gathered outside the children's hospital in Liverpool on Monday, where the boy is kept alive. The police had to intervene to prevent a group of activists from entering the building, reports The Guardian. Alfie's father had called people to come to the hospital to pray for his son.
