Prison authorities say they provide continuous medical monitoring and specialist consultations, and that scheduled transfers were refused. The family’s response, reported by Le Bouclage, announces steps to obtain the complete medical file.

The accounts differ over transfer conditions. The consulted sources do not include an independent medical assessment establishing his health status or the adequacy of care.
