Lawyer Sues State Joana's mother at the UN
by AFP19 May 2011
Leonor Cipriano's lawyer presented the High Commissioner for Human Rights complaint against the Portuguese government for torture against the mother and stepfather of Joan, missing child in 2004 in the village of Figueira, Portimão, Algarve.
Marcos Aragão Correia said in a statement sent to media that "at last Tuesday, May 17, followed, via registered mail," the complaint "formal practice of brutal torture against the child's mother and stepfather Joana Cipriano," Leandro Silva.
The lawyer added that "this is the first time lodged a complaint at the United Nations of its kind against Portugal, and all the earlier cases of other citizens against Portugal for the practice of similar violations, were admitted to the European Court of Human Rights" .
"We believe that this unprecedented process at the United Nations against the Portuguese state will result in a greater internationalism of the case of the disappearance of Joana Cipriano, leading to an increase in pressure, the Portuguese authorities to reopen the process and finally investigate the case in a scientific way and correct, "he said.
Joana Cipriano disappeared on September 12, 2004 and Leonor Cipriano and her brother and uncle of the girl, John Cipriano, were convicted in March 2006 to 16 years in prison each on charges of murder and concealment of a body.
The case came to court in 2008, with Joan's mother accused five current and former inspectors of the Judicial Police (PJ), a process involving crimes of torture, failure to report and document forgery.
