UK Charity Warns of Male Circumcision Risks

Article here. Excerpt:

'A national charity has called for wider awareness of the risks of circumcision, as the inquest is held into the death of a 16-day-old baby following a religious ritual two years ago.

Amitai Moshe died in 2007 following a ritual circumcision in North London and the inquest into his death began at Hornsey Coroner's Court on Monday.

The inquest follows one in Windsor earlier this year which concluded that baby Celian Noumbiwe had bled to death within hours of a circumcision at a doctor's surgery in Reading.

Many parents who consider circumcision necessary for ritual reasons believe that the operation is harmless in early infancy, and that it will bring benefit to the child.'
