Forkorus’ eye problems not properly dealt with
‘Forkorus complained about his eye problems when we paid him a visit last week,’ said Olga Hamadi, and added that he was not getting proper treatment for the problem. ‘I was taken to the polyclinic but the treatment I had there was not satisfactory,’ Forkorus told his lawyer.
The Dewan Adat Papua – Papuan Customary Council of which Forkorus is the chairperson said that they too have reported the problem to the authorities at the Abepura Prison where Forkorus is being held. Forkorus has also sent a letter about the problem to the High Court in Jayapura.’ His lawyer said that Forkorus had asked for their help to submit his letter to the High Court.
According to Olga Hamadi, the eye problem is not too severe and Forkorus is otherwise in good health.
