will urgently do the much needed surgery," the statement said.

"As a result of this medical condition, his Indian doctor had recommended that the use of a medical device in the night during his sleep to avoid sudden heart failure or heart attack.
"Futhermore, the implanting of the device was a temporary measure as it was recommended that he goes for a major surgery that would correct this respiratory imbalance.
"According to his doctor, significant part of his respiratory system has been blocked and so a surgery is urgently required.
"This recommendation and conclusion was about three years ago. It was eventually
arranged for him to travel and have the surgery in Cairo it was in that process and on transit to do the surgery that he was arrested on 6th September, 2022.
While Under DSS detention and because of the same medical crisis he collapsed three times and he was admitted at DSS hospital two times but because they don’t have an ENT specialist and facility in their medical center they graciously took him another medical centre ," the family said.
