Family of Brussels terror attack victim who was euthanized due to trauma from the assault in shock over media report

The family of one of the victims of the 2016 Brussels Airport attacks has reacted with shock to a report on “forgotten” victims, broadcast on Wednesday evening on RTBF.

The reaction came from relatives of a 23-year-old woman from Kontich who is said to have received euthanasia recently because of unbearable psychological suffering following the attacks.

The woman’s family said, through its lawyer, that the RTBF report was done without the knowledge and cooperation of her next of kin. “It seriously raises eyebrows from a deontological and ethical standpoint,” the family said in a statement.
