In a startling case that has captivated Norway, two women born in 1965 have come forward to reveal that they were mistakenly switched at birth in a central Norwegian hospital. The mix-up was only discovered nearly six decades later, leading to a legal battle against the state and municipality.
The women, now 59 years old, along with the woman who raised one of the babies, are suing authorities, alleging that their human rights were violated when the error was uncovered during their teenage years and subsequently covered up. They argue that Norwegian officials failed to uphold their right to a family life, as outlined in the European human rights convention.
