On 1 September 2006, the State party provided an update on its monitoring of the complainant. It stated that embassy staff had made seven further visits to Mr. Agiza. Mr. Agiza had been in consistently good spirits and received regular visits in prison from his mother and brother. His health was said to be stable and he visited Manial Hospital once a week for physiotherapeutic treatment. The Embassy’s staff has visited him now on 39 occasions and will continue the visits. On 25 May 2007 the State party reported that five additional visits to the complainant had been conducted, which made a total of 44 visits. His well-being and health remained unchanged. He had on one occasion obtained permission to telephone his wife and children and he received visits from his mother. His father died in December 2006, but he did not receive permission to attend the funeral. Early in 2007, Mr. Agiza lodged a request to be granted a permanent residence permit in Sweden as well as compensation. The Government instructed the Office of the Chancellor of Justice to attempt to reach an agreement with Mr. Agiza on the issue of compensation. The request for a residence permit is being dealt with by the Migration Board. On 5 October 2007, the State party informed the Committee of two further visits to Mr. Agiza, conducted on 17 July and 19 September 2007, respectively. He kept repeating that he was feeling well, although in summer he complained about not receiving sufficiently frequent medical treatment. That situation seems to have again improved. The Embassy’s staff has visited Mr. Agiza in the prison on 46 occasions. These visits will continue. Furthermore, it is not possible at this moment to predict when the Migration Board and the Chancellor of Justice will be able to conclude Mr. Agiza’s cases. 146
