QUESTION
REF: STATE 43700
¶1. (SBU) Poloff met Dagmar Hovohradska, MFA's Human Rights
Department, March 22 to discuss reftel demarche on Romanian
intercountry adoption. Hovohradska said the Human Rights
Department will research the issue and provide a response
within a week. However, Hovohradska was unsure what the Czech
position would be in light of a recent intercountry adoption
involving the death of a three-year old Czech boy. The
Swedish couple who adopted the boy is now accused of killing
him. As a result of this case, Hovohradska predicted the
passage of a new Czech law on intercountry adoption that
would require psychiatric testing of all prospective adoptive
parents.
