While serving time in prison, a U.S. citizen named Gambaryan developed several serious health issues. In addition to contracting malaria, pneumonia, and tonsillitis, he also suffered from complications related to a herniated disc in his back. This condition left him unable to walk without assistance, prompting the need for a wheelchair.
Despite his deteriorating health, a video from Gambaryan’s last court appearance showed him struggling with only a single crutch, as reported by CoinDesk. The lack of proper medical attention and support for prisoners is a concerning issue that deserves more attention.
