“Dzhemil Gafarov, a disabled person of group II, has exacerbated chronic diseases – stage 4 renal failure, coronary heart disease, etc. For more than a year he has not received proper medical care, and his appeal to the medical unit of the pre-trial detention center is ignored and remains without any reaction. due to these circumstances, our fellow citizen is experiencing severe pain and suffering”,- the message said.
