“It is possible to file a lawsuit in federal court to force the prison to provide Victor with proper medical care.
We are now preparing such a lawsuit, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.
The lawyer emphasized that it is impossible to defend in court a violation related not only to the failure to provide medical assistance, but even to the issuance of medicines to a prisoner without a medical examination by a doctor and a diagnosis.
Earlier, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that the rescue of Russians from American prisons is a key task for Russian diplomats.
He said that Russians in American prisons are denied medical care and the provision of necessary medicines.
According to Antonov, in this way there is a violation of international obligations by the United States.
Prior to this, Alla, the wife of Viktor Bout, a prisoner in an American prison, reported a sharp deterioration in his health in an American prison.
In May, the Russian embassy in Washington said that Russian citizens Viktor Bout and Roman Seleznev, held in US prisons, had been denied medical care.
