Deaf/Blind Teen Brutally Beaten By TSA Agents

VIDEO: Deaf News - TSA sued for brutal beating Deaf, partially blind teen girl recovering from brain surgery at the Memphis Airport.



MEMPHIS, TN -- A teen just released from brain surgery was beaten by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents inside the Memphis International Airport last year, a recent lawsuit alleges.



The TSA is listed as a defendant in a suit accusing them of injuring a mentally disabled teen after she was unable to understand or comply with orders at a security checkpoint.



Newly surfaced photos show the aftermath of the June 30, 2015 incident, in which agents roughed up 19-year-old Hannah Cohen leaving her bloodied and bruised.

“They wanted to do further scanning; she was reluctant. She didn’t understand what they were about to do,” her mother Shirley Cohen told WREG.



The lawsuit claims before Hannah had brain tumor surgery at St. Jude’s hospital, she already had “a physical and mental impairment that substantially limit one or more of her life activities.”



“More particularly,” the lawsuit continues, “Hannah has damage from radiation and removal of a brain tumor that substantially limits her ability to speak, walk, stand, see, hear, care for herself, learn and work, think, concentrate, and interact with others.”



“This substantial limitation is obvious upon sight and was obvious” on the day of the incident, the lawsuit filed in US District Court states.



“She’s trying to get away from them,” Hannah’s mother described, “but in the next instant, one of them had her down on the ground and hit her head on the floor. And I looked and there’s blood everywhere.”



All the while Shirley was kept from being able to help her daughter, causing her “extreme emotional injury as she watched the personnel assault her daughter,” according to court documents obtained by Infowars.



The Memphis International Airport Police Department is also included as a defendant in the suit for “arresting her for no cause.”



“Hannah was arrested, booked and on the night she should have been celebrating the end of her treatment, she was locked up in Jail East,” reports WREG.



“Here we were with nowhere to go, not even a toothbrush, our bags had gone to Chattanooga,” Shirley said.



TSA did not comment on the case, but referred travelers with special accommodations to call their TSA Cares hotline. The Cohens’ are asking for $100,000 in damages.

Deaf Belgian Twin Brothers Voluntarily Euthanized

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Deaf twin brothers commit assisted suicide by Belgian doctors.



ANTWERP, BELGIUM -- Identical twins were killed by Belgian doctors last month in a unique mercy killing under Belgium's euthanasia laws.

The two men, 45, from the Antwerp region were both born Deaf and sought euthanasia after finding that they would also soon go blind.



The pair told doctors that they were unable to bear the thought of not being able to see each other again.



Facing blindness, two Deaf twin brothers elected to commit assisted suicide in Belgium via lethal injection. This assisted suicide case is unusual - neither man was terminally ill nor suffering unbearable pain.
