Human Rights Action (HRA) appealed today to the Constitutional Court to urgently decide about detainee Peko Đikanović’s constitutional complaint, who is severely ill and suffers from cancer and is in need of PET scanning outside of prison so that primary cancer could be determined along with adequate treatment.

In the letter to the President of the Constitutional Court, HRA emphasized that the European Court of Human Rights previously determined violations of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (prohibition of torture and other ill-treatment) and ordered the interim measures in cases where prisoners were not provided with adequate medical treatment in prison or detention.

Additionally, HRA appealed again to the Constitutional Court to increase the transparency of order of deciding on constitutional complaints by starting to announce which constitutional complaints the court will primarily decide on and for what reasons.
