Lockerbie bomber diagnosed with prostate cancer... and could now be moved from his cell to 'a more comfortable environment'

This is the headline over a lengthy story, in which the source of the newspaper's information remains undisclosed, in today's issue of the Daily Mail. It speculates about the stage which the disease has reached and the possibility of Abdelbaset Megrahi's being moved from Greenock Prison to a more suitable treatment location.

The full article can be read here.

If the story is true, it provides a further reason for the High Court to stamp firmly on the obstructionist tactics of the Crown in the ongoing appeal and to insist on a full hearing at the earliest possible date.

The BBC News website has a short article on the subject, with confirmation of the diagnosis from Mr Megrahi's solicitor, Tony Kelly.

    Prostate cancer in the initial stage and without form of deposit has today very large healing chances. We wishes to Mr Abdulbaset Al Megrahi get well soon and freedom and asks for ALLAH'S assistance,

    THE FIRST THING DYING AT LOCKERBIE WAS THE TRUTH (reg.)
    In order to avoid that truthfinding will be sunk into "Loch Ness" in Scotland, MEBO shall soon publish it's book:
    BOMSCOT: 'DIE WAHRHEIT STARB VOR LOCKERBIE'
    (TRUTH PASSED AWAY BEFORE LOCKERBIE [working title]) soon- available in German languange (later in English language)
    only until further notice.

    I feel deeply saddened by the news now confirmed by Megrahi'slawyer Mr. Tony Kelly. The fact that the cancer has 'reached and advanced stage' and 'spred to other areas of his body' in dreadful news.

    I and many other beleive this man to be totally INNOCENT.

    I sincerely hope that he will be treated with compassion, care and decency. As a prisoner under sentence the Scottish Prison Service have a duty of acre to ensure that he receives the best possible medical treatment - the world will watch this extremely closely.

    I commend to readers the accurate, concise and highly appropriate briefing on this site commenting on the on-going situation in respect of potential courses of action for the pending second appeal
