A law should be enacted for ill prisoners and the ill prisoners should be released. We are fighting this struggle so that the bodies of our children are not released from prison. The state should treat our children, if they don't, we treat them. If the President and the Minister of Justice had a little conscience, they would understand that we are not asking for much. We just want the ill prisoners to be treated and released."
