First: That the prison sentences threatens the life of the prisoner or causes a full disability. However, the report of the medical committee- formed of a number of forensic doctors- proved that Ayman Nour”s serving his prison sentence does not constitute any danger on his life and doesn”t cause him any full disability. This is because he may face the complications that he faces because of his disease inside prison, outside prison as well.
