Application no. 36936/05 by Edward SZULUK v United Kingdom against the United Kingdom lodged on 14 October 2005
The applicant, Mr Edward Szuluk, who was born in 1955, is a British national who is currently in prison in South Littleton, Worcestershire. He is represented before the Court by Mr J. Scott, a lawyer practising at Langleys Solicitors in York.
The facts of the case, as submitted by the applicant, may be summarised as follows.
In November 2001 the applicant was sentenced to fourteen years’ imprisonment for drug offences. In April 2001 (while awaiting trial) he suffered a brain haemorrhage for which he underwent surgery. In July 2002 he underwent further surgery. The necessary treatment to monitor his life threatening condition was not available in prison and he was required to go to hospital every six months to undergo specialist examination and if necessary further treatment.
The applicant contested the decision to monitor his medical correspondence. He was concerned that his attempts to confirm that he was receiving adequate treatment in hospital might be regarded by the prison medical officer as criticism and that this might inhibit his relationship with his external medical specialist. On this basis, he brought judicial review proceedings challenging the decision to monitor his medical correspondence.
