KMDLNY reacts after the death of a prisoner at Pec Hospital

It has been treated at all times by the doctors of Staciari in the Dubrava Prison and the consultants, as well as by recommendations by emission specialists.

Yesterday, during the day, the patient had a deteriorating state of health with symptoms that he had a heart attack.

R. M. has been given adequate medical help from the doctor

The steward and was transported in prison ambulances, providing adequate assistance, clouds of cardiopulmonary animation all the time.

Despite these efforts and the commitment of emergency staff at SP in Pec, the prisoner failed to survive the attack.

The deceased has completed the initial legal procedures for the death of the prisoners and has then been sent for autopsies that will verify the cause of death.

After all the cases of convicts' deaths, we have reactions from many institutions, but we have not so far had any initiative of the precautionary action company or that would positively affect these or similar cases. The KMDLNj reiterates the request that prisoners with tertiary diagnosis, terminally ill, should be stopped from serving punishment or allowed medical treatment that the family provides if they have material access or accept to care for it but that a legal basis is missing.

It is not the first case and will not be the last that prisoners, without any hope of healing are held in prison where they die and that responsibility is addressed, unjustly, and only the Kosovo Rewarding Service and the Prison Health Service. Cutting off the sentence for health and age causes should be subjected only to cases that because of the nature of the work cannot be released but that it is considered a temporary solution. Lacking legal grounds for this,

KMDLNj will support any initiative for changing the Law that allows this end of sentence due to health or age conditions. And, it's a time when responsible institutions should be committed to fulfilling this legal space so that all who have incurable diseases can be released from the suffering of the sentence until the cure of the disease, which it cannot do in corrective institutions.

KMDLNj expresses comfort to the deceased family and appreciates the efforts of the Prison Health Service that, under conditions and opportunities it is making maximum efforts to protect the health of those deprived of freedom.

The Kosovo Correcting Service urgently needs that within the spaces a hospital has for treating prisoners with all the professional profiles needed for this.

There's enough space and there's no big means for it. All attempts to make solutions so far are failed as if it was the Institute for Psychic Forenzice or the rooms to be imprisoned at QKUK
