Given the important public interest of all cases of disappearances of children, which includes the interest earned by the case of the disappearance of Joana Cipriano Portuguese child, Marcos Aragão Correia, Attorney of Leonor Maria Domingos Cipriano and António Leandro David Silva, respectively mother and stepfather of this child, hereby publicly disclose the following:
1st - This past Tuesday, May 17, 2011, followed, via registered mail to the High Commissioner for Human Rights of the United Nations, based in Switzerland, a formal complaint against the Portuguese Government by practice of brutal torture against mother and stepfather of the child Joana Cipriano;
2 - According to statistics consulted relatively to the Committee Against Torture, of the UN, this is the first time it was admitted to the United Nations a complaint of this type against Portugal, while all the earlier cases of other citizens against Portugal, for infringing Similar Human Rights, entered the European Court of Human Rights and not the United Nations (there is a legal impossibility to appeal simultaneously to both institutions with the same facts);
3 - We believe that this unprecedented case in the United Nations against the Portuguese government will result in a greater internationalism of the case of the disappearance of Joana Cipriano, leading to an increased pressure on the Portuguese authorities to reopen the case and investigate finally the case with a scientific and correct way, as never done so far;
4 - Attached to this email is in Word format, their joint complaint submitted against Portugal to the United Nations concerning the disappearance of Joana Cipriano and the brutal torture against their parents by agents of the Portuguese state, and we authorize public reproduction of the contents of the document;
5 - Additional information about the case of the disappearance of Joana Cipriano can be found on the official website of the Lawyer of the parents of the child, in the address

==================================
Madeleine McCann, aged 3 was abducted from her holiday apartment in Praya da Luz, Algarve, Portugal in May 2007. Her parents launched a world-wide campaign to find her, and along the way have been harassed, stalked and hounded by some nasty deviants. This blog is mainly to show up those nasty people, and also to raise awareness that Madeleine is STILL missing more than 4 YEARS later.
