Hon. (Dr.) V. S. Radhakrishnan raised an urgent matter directly with the Minister of Health regarding an incident at Glencairn Hospital, in which three individuals allegedly sexually abused the body of a deceased 23-year-old woman in the hospital mortuary. He called on the Minister to take immediate action, including referring the perpetrators to Police and prosecution. The speaker framed the incident as a grave concern about the safety and dignity of women, even in death.
Hon. Speaker, since the Minister of Health is in the House, I wish to raise a matter. Please give me 30 seconds.
The day before yesterday, at Glencairn Hospital, a 23-year-old died. While the dead body was in the mortuary, three people had sexually abused it. Hon. Minister, please pay special attention to this and take action. Hand them over to the Police and produce them before court. Please take action. If even a dead woman is not safe in this country, what are we doing?
