Without
proper medical treatment, the health of opposition leaders Farouk Abu
Issa and Dr Amin Maki Madani has been deteriorating. They are prisoners
of conscience.
Almost 10 weeks into their detention, the health of Farouk Abu Issa, 82 and Dr Amin Maki Madani,
76 has significantly, and rapidly, deteriorated. Farouk Abu Issa
suffers from poor health generally, including high blood pressure. On 3
February, he was transferred to the police hospital Sahiroun in Khartoum
for a second time. The first time he was admitted in hospital, on 23
December 2014, he only received medical attention for one day despite
needing intensive and sustained medical care. His lawyer filed an
application with Sudanese authorities at the end of January to allow him
to remain in the hospital, and to receive the medical care he requires.
The lawyer also, in the same application, requested that Dr Amin Maki
Madani be transferred to hospital and receive urgent medical care.
