Noelia Castillo to receive euthanasia this Thursday after TEDH rejection

Noelia Castillo, the 25-year-old paraplegic from Barcelona, announced on Antena 3 that she will receive euthanasia this Thursday, March 26. The announcement comes the same day the European Court of Human Rights (TEDH) rejected the latest precautionary appeal filed by her father, Gerónimo Castillo, represented by Abogados Cristianos.

Noelia Castillo, 25 years old and paraplegic since a suicide attempt in October 2022 following a multiple sexual assault, requested euthanasia in April 2024. The Commission of Guarantee and Evaluation of Catalonia (CGAC) approved it unanimously on July 18, 2024, as she met the law's requirements: non-recoverable clinical situation with severe dependency, pain, and chronic suffering.

Deputies on the social affairs commission approved, on February 4, the creation of a right to assisted dying, nearly identical to the version adopted in May 2025. Rejected by the Senate last week, this bill returns for second reading at the National Assembly, sparking intense debates on end-of-life issues.

Thousands of demonstrators marched in Paris on Sunday to oppose the legalization of euthanasia and assisted suicide, as the Senate begins a decisive week on the bill. Participants hope to influence legislative debates through street mobilization. Emmanuel Macron reaffirmed his commitment to completing legislation on end-of-life in dignity.

Cecilia Monzón's family expressed satisfaction over the conviction of her ex-partner, Javier López Zavala, for the 2022 femicide in Puebla. The court found him guilty of planning the murder, with sentencing set for December 31, 2025. The family is pushing for the maximum penalty of 60 years in prison.

The French Senate rejected a central article of an end-of-life bill on Wednesday, January 21, which outlined conditions for a right to aid in dying. The vote passed 144 against 123, stripping the text of its core, amid reluctance from various political groups. Debates will continue, but the process may revert primarily to the National Assembly.
