(5 years ago)For eight months in Kosovo, four prisoners with theatre diagnosis have died, says the Council for Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms.

Clearly, the Health Ministry of Prisons, despite its will, does not have enough professional capacity to handle cases with theatre diagnosis, while the treatment at the appropriate clinics is followed by many obstacles and problems, from logistics to security”.
KMLDNJ has proposed that a Independent Health Commission be formed that would deal with these cases and which would come up with concrete proposals, not for temporary suspension of the sentence, but for the end of the sentence.
“From this break would have to be ruled out the perpetrators of highly dangerous acts and pose a risk to general security and that would have to be precise with the Law on Execution of Criminal Sanctions. KMDLNI proposes that LESP be born so that convicts with theatre diagnosis would be released from the punishment or punishment would be replaced by another measure and that the most appropriate would be home arrest”.
KMLDJ has said that the state, in addition to punishing the perpetrators of criminal acts that are provided with laws in force, should also take into account the humanitarian aspect of cases that inevitably end up fatally for prisoners disfellowshipped cases cited above and that, in the revised Law, they would be clearly identified by establishing a legal basis, even for judges dealing with the health commission's proposals, the SKK or other institutions.
Until we have the uncertainty and lack of proper legal base, prisoners with terciar diagnosis will continue to die (such as 20 inmates), the SHKK and the SSH will be placed in serious situations without any concrete responsibility, family members will suspect that no needed service was offered to members of families who died as prisoners, as well as losing faith in these <x1 institutions.
KMDLNj has expressed condolences to the family of the prisoner from Suhareka who died Tuesday in SKKUK.
