Teodora, mother of an 11-year-old boy, was expecting a new baby when she started experiencing severe pain. She called emergency services, but soon after went into labour while unconscious. When she woke, she was bleeding profusely and her baby was dead. Police at the scene arrested Teodora on suspicion of murder. Teodora’s trial was deeply flawed. She was presumed guilty and could not afford proper legal representation to defend against these claims. She has already spent eight years in prison and should not spend another moment more behind bars - away from her son.
In El Salvador, women who miscarry or suffer a still-birth are often suspected of having an abortion which is illegal under any circumstances.
