refused him medical treatment.This was after the court had adjourned his case to February 9 and ordered that he should be sent back to custody.Asakiah, a barber at Akwatia was charged for defiling a 10-year-old primary school girl in June last year.Five other remand persons who were in court, also complained of lack of medical care for them and the Judge ordered the investigator to investigate the allegations and report to the court at the next sitting.The Judge said prisoners were entitled to medical care and should not be denied that fundamental human right.Source: GNA
