'VECERNJI LIST' DAILY: SAKIC RECEIVES TREATMENT IN CIVILIAN HOSPITAL
ZAGREB, Oct 27 (Hina) - A commander of the World War II
concentration camp of Jasenovac, Dinko Sakic (aged 78), who was
recently sentenced by the Zagreb County Court to 20 years in prison
for the war crime against humanity, has been receiving treatment at
the cardiology department of Zagreb's "Dubrava" hospital for the
third day, Wednesday's issue of "Vecernji list" daily reported.
According to the daily, "due to a major change in his heart rhythm,
Sakic was first examined in the prison infirmary and doctors
established that he should be taken to a civilian hospital.
This was done under police escort. Police officers are in and in
front of Sakic's room, as well as at the entrance to the cardiology
department.
Sakic is now in a coronary unit and has been connected to monitors
and he is taking heart medication. It has not been decided yet
whether he will undergo surgery or only continue receiving
medication. His age, which is probably partly the reason for his
current heart problems, will be an important factor in making this
decision, the daily says.
