Ombudsman's Report: Veliaj's rights have been violated
Erion Veliaj

Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj is concerned about his medical privacy by prison police.

This is the conclusion of the Ombudsman following verifications that were triggered by the concerns of the mayor of Tirana, who during medical examinations was not left alone with the doctors, but a prison officer was also present during the colonoscopy.

After the emergency medical visit on July 31, the mayor notified the Ombudsman for violation of dignity. The Ombudsman states in the report available to TCH that the commissioners questioned the doctors who examined the mayor and they claimed that Erion Veliaj had objected to the presence of the police during the colonoscopy.

"I asked the employees to wait outside," the doctor claims, "but they refused, saying they have a duty to implement the safety rules adopted in these cases."

From the examination of the room's environment, the commissioner describes, it appears that the place where the mayor's examination was conducted was open and undivided, where the possibility of avoiding seeing and hearing what was happening in the room was inevitable.

Meanwhile, in the questions addressed to the Directorate of Prisons, it is confirmed that Veliaj was assessed by the authorities, almost a month after his arrest, as a standard-risk prisoner, i.e. not of high risk, and for this reason it is concluded that the presence of the police during the medical examination was unnecessary.

But in four letters sent by the Prisons, it is explained to the Ombudsman that the police presence, violating the patient-doctor report, in the Veliaj case was followed by implementing an order of the general director of prisons dated January 21, 2019, therefore the Ombudsman requests changes as soon as possible.

This recommendation concerns the order of the Director General of Prisons.

Based on the Veliaj case, the Ombudsman states that the presence of police during medical visits, which must remain confidential, should only be allowed in exceptional security cases and recommends that the 2019 order be amended and international standards for respect for dignity be met.

This is Veliaj's second victory after the one he received from the Constitutional Court, which returned him to the office of mayor of Tirana.

As someone accused by SPAK of corruption, Veliaj has once again addressed the Court with a request to declare the prison sentence unlawful.

However, the Constitutional Court has not yet set a date for when it will review this request.

The preliminary trial against 30 defendants, including Veliaj, has been postponed to January 5, after the official's continued requests to make the investigation files available./ Top Channel
