Kimanus Wenda's Lawyer Says that He Requires Med. Attention
JUBI, 15 February 201
Latifa Anum Siregar, the lawyer acting for the prisoner, Kimanus Wenda, has written to the authorities calling for her client to be moved from Nabire Prison to Jayapura in order to receive the medical attention he needs. She said that he is suffering from a tumour.
She said she had written to the provincial office of the law and human rights ministry on 4 February when she explained that Kimanus Wenda had been undergoing treatment for a long time, facilitated by the medical personnel in Nabire Prison who have now said that he must be operated on at the earliest opportunity.
However because of the lack of medical equipment available in Nabire and for family reasons, Kimanus Wenda should be moved to Jayapura where he would have the support of his family and a lawyer during medication and the operation.
She has asked the Nabire Hospital to issue a letter calling for him to receive medical treatment and to be operated on in Jayapura.
