Italian right-to-die activist
Marco Cappato said Tuesday "my aim is to get the State to assume
its responsibilities" as he arrived at a Carabinieri barracks to
report himself for helping disk jockey DJ Fabo undergo assisted
suicide in a Swiss clinic Monday. The Radical Party member, who
risks up to 12 years in jail, said "I'll go in and tell the
events as they happened". The case of 40-year-old DJ Fabo, who
was left blind and tetraplegic after a 2014 car crash, has split
opinion in Catholic Italy where euthanasia and assisted suicide
are against the law and a bill on end-of-life issues has been
bogged down in parliament.
