Cambodian Doctor Jailed For 25 Years For Infecting 300 People With hiv by mart2k(m): 10:21am On Dec 04, 2015 |
A Cambodian court has convicted an unlicensed medical practitioner of murder and sentenced him to 25 years in prison for spreading HIV among almost 300 villagers. A spokesman for the court in the northwestern province of Battambang said Yem Chrin, 56, was found guilty on Thursday of torture and cruel behaviour resulting in death, intentionally spreading HIV and practising medicine without a licence. Ten of the villagers have died since the outbreak began. Authorities detected an epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus, the virus that causes AIDS, on December 9 when they started testing a community in Battambang. The victims ranged from a two-year-old to elderly in their 80s. It first started after a 74-year-old man tested positive for HIV in November. The man convinced others in the village who had also visited Yem Chrin to also get tested. The court found Yem Chrin guilty of operating health treatment without license, injecting people with syringes that spread HIV and torturing people to die. Yem Chrin admitted to routinely reusing syringes but denied intentionally spreading the virus. He was arrested in December last year and taken into protective custody, with the authorities fearing he might be lynched by residents of Roka village Police said Yem Chrin was a well-respected doctor who villagers believed had healing powers and who provided cheap treatment for the poor. https:///yD4Mgw3RpV |
