As the defence counsel gets ready tomorrow to argue to have former Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum get bail variation for travel overseas, the prosecution is likely to raise issues regarding the provision of an independent assessment by a specialist on the stroke he has allegedly suffered and other alleged medical complications.<\/p>\n
When questioned by fijivillage News on whether they have an assessment of a specialist, Sayed-Khaiyum’s legal counsel, Gul Fatima says they received Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum’s medical report from the hospital on Tuesday morning 29th July and this was filed with the Court Registry in Sayed-Khaiyum’s brother and only sibling’s affidavit.<\/p>\n

She says they are concerned about Sayed-Khaiyum’s constitutional right to life, health and his three young children and wife, Ela.<\/p>\n
The Office of the DPP is expected to discuss the matters tomorrow on whether it has managed to verify whether Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum actually suffered a stroke, whether they are satisfied with the defence counsel providing the reports to determine this and whether he needs overseas treatment.<\/p>\n
Chief Justice Salesi Temo had said in court last month that if Sayed-Khaiyum has serious heart problems then he should go to Pacific Specialist Hospital as they have some success stories.<\/p>\n
