Dear all

We have received this e-mail from the Central America coordinator about Beatriz –

Dear friends

Finally, after all that anguish and waiting, doctors performed a caesarean section late last night and Beatriz is recovering now in hospital. The baby only survived for several hours, since, as doctors had predicted, it was missing a large part of its brain and skull.

A huge thank you to everyone who took action to support Beatriz and to demand that the Salvadoran authorities act to save Beatriz's life.

Best wishes

Sheila

You can also read about it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-22763510.

But our efforts are still necessary elsewhere: I attach an e-mail about current events in Turkey and a death penalty action, calling on the Governor of Florida not to accept a Bill which would speed up executions in that state.

Best wishes

Nick
