It's unclear who translated the letter. It may have been a github employee.

In the original it says "graves desórdenes públicos" which could also be translated as "grave public disturbances". The word "desorden" definitely doesn't have a medical connotation as "disorder" has in English.

Doesn't "public disorder" in English have the same meaning as in Spanish here (i.e. not medical)?
