Allegation regarding unavailability of insulin treatment and denial of access 28/01/2013
to diabetes specialist treatment for a detainee. According to the information
received, Mr. Jack Walker (British national, 53 years old), detained at
Tangerran district prison, was arrested on 2 September 2011 at the
International Airport in Jakarta and sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment
on 3 April 2012 for a drugs-related offence. Mr. Walker has type 1diabetes
and requires insulin every 4 hours, without which he is likely to experience
hyper-glycaemia that can be fatal. It is alleged that Indonesian authorities
failed to provide Mr. Walker with insulin, and that he had only intermittent
access to insulin treatment. Since his arrest, Mr. Walker had allegedly not
been able to consult with a diabetes specialist and could not monitor and
adjust his insulin treatment over time. The lack of regular screening, as
registered in the medical record, has led to memory loss.
