A medical board warned, a few weeks ago, of the precarious situation suffered by the former mayor of Cúcuta, Ramiro Suárez Corzo, imprisoned in La Picota prison, in the south of Bogotá, and that his transfer to a clinic or his place of residence is urgent. . Now it is the Ombudsman’s Office that warns that the former president’s fundamental rights are being violated.
“At the time of the visit, Mr. Ramiro Suárez was found lying in bed, conscious, oriented in time, place and space, with loss of movement of the lower limbs secondary to inclusion body myositis (diagnosed by the Hospital Erasmo Meoz University of Cúcuta) which does not allow him to move autonomously,” says the document from the Ombudsman’s Office.
The Ombudsman’s Office officials who were in La Picota prison warned that, according to the former mayor himself, he has to crawl to the bathroom to do his basic needs or sometimes ask other prisoners for help to move around in his own cell. , otherwise it is impossible.
“The PPL states that to fulfill his physiological and personal care needs he must drop to the floor and crawl to the bathroom or shower, since he does not have a caregiver or support staff. In addition to the above, it should be noted that the person closest to his cell is approximately 30 meters away and 70 meters from the guard at the outside goal,” warns a report that the Ombudsman’s Office delivered to the former president’s defense.

“This is an adult, elderly person deprived of liberty, without the capacity for self-care and attention to his physiological needs, due to suffering from uncompensated metabolic diseases, without treatments that endanger the health and life of Mr. Suárez, which maintains the complete violation of the fundamental rights to life, health and human dignity,” the document warns.
It was precisely the possibility of a clinic that, previously, motivated a controversy regarding the use that the former mayor was giving to that benefit that the justice gave him, of remaining in a hospital center paying his sentence. The complaints indicated that Ramiro Suárez Corzo used the clinic as a political headquarters.

The matter now is about fundamental rights and what may happen in relation to the former mayor’s health, since the Ombudsman’s Office was able to warn that his life is at risk of not having the necessary medical care to face the pathologies he suffers from and that were corroborated. by the medical board.
“The clinical history refers to the need to provide medications and therapies to maintain health conditions and prevent their deterioration, which is not being provided on a regular basis, which is why it is recommended, both to the prison authority and to the EAPB, take measures to guarantee the fundamental right to life and health of those deprived of liberty,” the report closes.
The Ombudsman’s Office even asks the hearing judges to take into account the health situation of the former mayor so that they adopt measures to guarantee the life of the person deprived of liberty, the documents and opinions warn of the problems he suffers.
