A tragic rape case in Paraguay has heightened tensions in a country
long divided over religious and social issues. A pregnant 10-year-old
girl has been denied an abortion – the procedure is illegal under
Paraguayan law – and her step-father has been arrested, accused of her
rape.
The girl was taken to hospital on April 21 by her mother after complaining of abdominal pain, and was found to be around 21 weeks pregnant. The mother has now also been arrested on suspicion of enabling her daughter's abuse.
