カルト宗教が糖尿病少女の死の責任を認定される

「Fourteen members of an Australian religious group have been convicted of killing an eight-year-old diabetic girl who was denied insulin for almost a week.

Elizabeth Struhs died at home in 2022, having suffered from diabetic ketoacidosis, which causes fatally high blood sugar.

The court heard that Elizabeth's treatment was withheld because the group, known as the Saints, opposed medical care, believing God would heal her.」

「The Saints are not affiliated with an established church in Australia and have roughly two dozen members from three families.」
