1752. Concerning Narine Sooklal (ibid., para. 1577), the Government responded that a medical report from the Prisons Medical Officer dated 14 August 2001 confirmed that the inmate sustained an old injury to his left leg as a result of which he needed crutches. The Government further indicated that his medical needs were being adequately looked after.
1753. Concerning Anton Cooper (ibid., para. 1578), the Government responded that
the Commissioner of Prisons had instituted an investigation, which was conducted by
a Superintendent of prisons. Based upon the results of the investigation, the case was

independent inquiry should be undertaken. The matter was being investigated by the
police at the time the Government transmitted this response.
