A citizen of Tajikistan is on the brink of death in a Turkmen prison, suffering from the final stage of tuberculosis.
According to the portal turkmen.news, in the prison hospital MR-B/15 in Turkmenistan, a citizen of Tajikistan Sabzali Ekhbolovich Bandayev, is gravely ill with a severe form of tuberculosis.
It is reported that the convict’s life is now measured in days, the disease has reached its final stage, and the man is coughing up blood.
Bandayev was sentenced to 23 years in prison, but it is unknown when and on what charges he was convicted.
According to the portal, if the convict’s relatives contact the Embassy of Turkmenistan in Dushanbe, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan, and other authorities, they have a chance to bring him back home.
According to the Criminal Procedure Code of Turkmenistan, there is a possibility of early release for terminally ill patients, and such cases have occurred. In 2014, turkmen.news reported on the release of eight individuals with severe forms of tuberculosis.
