NSS officials have restricted his access to family members. His family was allowed to see him on 2 February for the first time in three weeks. They were only allowed to speak with him for 15 minutes. His family reported that he looked physically weak and complained about exposure to mosquitos. Authorities refused his family access to him on 6 February.
