The Court of Appeals explains why he released the convicted in the “Kukesi” case

Kosovo's “Court of Appeals, during May, has initially rejected the prisoner's complaint of suspension of sentence, since the request is based solely on a hospital's college report in the Republic of Turkey. The prisoner then attributed the request to the vocational report of the QKUK Medical College, under which the most diagnosed disease he has been diagnosed cannot be addressed in public health institutions within the Republic of Kosovo”, it is said in response.

Under these facts and the implementation of international conventions, under which “don't adequate treatment of prisoners is considered inhuman treatment”, the convention which Kosovo is obliged to implement, and as well as taking on basis the practice of the European Court for Human Rights in Strasbourg, has been imposed on the provisional suspension of the sentence for six months. This decision has been made in order for the person to have the word offered adequate health treatment. So in reference to these standards, and given that the Court decides according to the subject paperwork, the expert's opinion has been determinative”, it goes on.

It also says that Apel's reaction to the court ruling has taken into account that only this year, according to official figures, five prisoners have died in the correctional institutions, that figure is extremely disturbing.
