Sanda Dia died after being made to consume excessive amounts of fish oil and alcohol in 2018.

A mural of Sanda Dia has been painted at the university he was studying at in LeuvenThe death of black Belgian student Sanda Dia shocked Dutch-speaking Flanders in 2018.

The court ruled that the students - members of the now-disbanded Reuzegom, whose members were traditionally associated with some of Belgian society's elites - were not guilty of intentionally administering harmful substance causing death or illness. Other local media reports have claimed some of Reuzegom's members were the sons of politicians and judges - pointing to their privileged positions in society.

Speaking about the sentencings, she said, "In Belgium, if you take the bus but you don't have a ticket... you get a higher fine for that" than what the students involved in hazing received. "Everyone gets humiliation independently of their colour, but some people have some remarks which are not given to others," Mr Kitenge, president of the youth branch of the French speaking DéFI party, said.Others disagree.

Is there a relation between stillbirth and low levels of vitamin D in the population? A bi-national follow-up study of vitamin D fortification - BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthIs there a relation between stillbirth and low levels of vitamin D in the population? A bi-national follow-up study of vitamin D fortification - BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthBackground Stillbirth has been associated with low plasma vitamin D. Both Sweden and Finland have a high proportion of low plasma vitamin D levels (| 50 nmol/L). We aimed to assess the odds of stillbirth in relation to changes in national vitamin D fortification. Methods We surveyed all pregnancies in Finland between 1994 and 2021 (n = 1,569,739) and Sweden (n = 2,800,730) with live or stillbirth registered in the Medical Birth Registries. The mean incidences before and after changes in the vitamin D food fortification programs in Finland (2003 and 2009) and Sweden (2018) were compared with cross-tabulation with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results In Finland, the stillbirth rate declined from ~ 4.1/1000 prior to 2003, to 3.4/1000 between 2004 and 2009 (odds ratio [OR] 0.87, 95% CI 0.81–0.93), and to 2.8/1000 after 2010 (OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.78–0.91). In Sweden, the stillbirth rate decreased from 3.9/1000 between 2008 and 2017 to 3.2/1000 after 2018 (OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.78–0.89). When the level of the dose-dependent difference in Finland in a large sample with correct temporal associations decreased, it remained steady in Sweden, and vice versa, indicating that the effect may be due to vitamin D. These are observational findings that may not be causal. Conclusion Each increment of vitamin D fortification was associated with a 15% drop in stillbirths on a national level. If true, and if fortification reaches the entire population, it may represent a milestone in preventing stillbirths and reducing health inequalities.
