ACTIVISTS RALLY FOR CHARLIE GARD; CASE BACK IN COURT

-

Protesters who want critically ill British baby Charlie Gard to receive an experiment­al medical treatment rallied Sunday, while hospital officials say emotions are running so high in the heartbreak­ing case they have received death threats.

A small group of about 20 activists supporting Gard’s parents, including some from the United States, gathered Sunday afternoon outside the High Court in London where legal proceeding­s will resume Monday with new medical evidence expected.

Charlie has a rare genetic condition and suffers from brain damage. His case, which pits his parents’ wishes in conflict with the views of doctors treating him, has generated internatio­nal attention.
