(ANSA) - ROME, APR 18 - The government appealed to the regional adminstrative court of Emilia-Romagna on April 12 against the northern region's move towards approving assisted suicide in line with a recent sentence from the Constitutional Court, the centre right post Berlusconi Forza Italia party said Thursday.
    Alessandro Zan, a centre-left opposition Democratic Party (PD) MP who campaigns for gay and human rights, said: "The government's appeal against the Emilia Romagna government's deliberations that applied the Constitutional Court's sentence shows all the ideological fury of this Right against people's rights.
    "Not only do they not heed the cry of pain from so many people and families that demand freedom and dignity up till the end, but they also rail against the precise indications of the Constitutional Court". (ANSA).
