Court plea to save Isaiah, 1

THE parents of a severely disabled boy have asked European judges to intervene after losing a battle to keep him alive in London.

A High Court judge has given doctors permission to provide only palliative care to 12-month-old Isaiah Haastrup, against the wishes of his parents.

Lanre Haastrup and Takesha Thomas, of Peckham, South East London, say they have spelled out their case in a written application to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
