AI s'interroge sur l'application faite en France de la loi du 4 mars 2002 relative au droit des détenus très malades ou dont le traitement est incompatible avec l'incarcération, de voir leur peine suspendue (application au préfet Papon et non, par exemple, au nationaliste breton Alain Solé gravement malade, de même qu'aux quatre membres d'Action directe incarcérés depuis 15 ans et dont la santé est gravement compromise).
AI is concerned at the way in which the French law of 4 March 2002 on the rights of seriously ill prisoners is being applied. According to this law the sentences of prisoners with serious medic
al conditions whose treatment is incompatible with their continued detention may be suspended. The law has been applied to the case of the former 'préfet', Maurice Papon, but not, for example, to the seriously ill Brito
n nationalist Alain Solé or to the four members of 'Action directe', who have been in prison for 15 years and are in a critical
...[+++]state of health.
