The story of Ashya King takes on particular significance as the parents of Alfie Evans fight for the right to take their toddler to Rome in the face of a UK court decision allowing doctors to remove Alfie's ventilator against his parents' wishes...

Brett and Naghemeh King set off an international manhunt after they removed Ashya, then 5 years old, from Southampton General Hospital against medical advice and fled the country, reports the UK Daily Mail.

After two days on the run, the Kings were arrested in Spain at the request of British authorities, and held for 72 hours in Madrid on charges of child cruelty. Ashya was placed under guard in a Spanish hospital, "where he howled with despair and confusion," the Daily Mail reported.

According to the BBC, efforts to extradite the couple back to Britain failed when prosecutors concluded the risk to Ashya King's life "was not as great or immediate as... originally thought."

The Kings subsequently won the right in High Court to take Ashya to the Czech Republic for revolutionary proton beam treatment, not available under the UK's National Health Service, according to the Daily Mail.
