A woman accused by her former husband of kidnapping their two boys to stop them being vaccinated against Covid-19 turned herself into authorities on Wednesday, officials said.
The woman, 46, was wanted for "kidnapping minors" after her former husband, who lives near the southern city of Seville, filed a complaint with police in mid-December accusing her of taking the boys, aged 14 and 12, without authorisation, a judicial source told AFP.
The man said he had not seen the boys since November 4 when he received a letter from her saying she planned to remove them from their school just days after a court ruled he had the right to decide whether they should be vaccinated.
The woman turned herself into authorities on Wednesday morning in Seville with the two boys, and a judge ordered her to be remanded in custody pending charges, the source said.
The boys were handed over to their father on Wednesday afternoon, a spokesman for Spain´s Guardia Civil police force said.
Spain, along with other European nations, began vaccinating children aged 5 to 11 on December 15.
The country has no significant anti-vaccine movement.
With 90 per cent of over-12s in the country fully vaccinated against Covid-19, Spain has one of the highest rates of fully immunised people in Europe.

Quick pearls of wisdom
Focus on gratitude: And do so deeply, he says. “Think of one to three things a day that you’re grateful for. It needs to be specific, too, don’t just say ‘air.’ Really think about it. If you’re grateful for, say, what your parents have done for you, that will motivate you to do more for the world.”
Know how to fight: Shetty married his wife, Radhi, three years ago (he met her in a meditation class before he went off and became a monk). He says they’ve had to learn to respect each other’s “fighting styles” – he’s a talk it-out-immediately person, while she needs space to think. “When you’re having an argument, remember, it’s not you against each other. It’s both of you against the problem. When you win, they lose. If you’re on a team you have to win together.”

Islamophobia definition
A widely accepted definition was made by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims in 2019: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.” It further defines it as “inciting hatred or violence against Muslims”.
