The Court of Appeal upheld the conviction of the gynecologist from Struga, who must serve a sentence of 3 years in prison.

Appeals Court Upholds Sentence for Gynecologist in 2020 Struga Case

The Appeals Court has rejected an appeal and affirmed a three-year prison sentence for gynecologist Muhamed Asani, following a ruling in the Basic Court of Struga. The conviction stems from an incident in 2020 at the Struga hospital involving patient Jilldiz Veaposka. During a cesarean section, Asani was found to have performed procedures resulting in the removal of three of Veaposka’s organs: her uterus, an ovary, and a kidney.

The first-instance court’s judgment regarding Asani has been finalized. However, the situation remains complex for other defendants involved in the case. The Public Prosecution’s appeal has been accepted, leading to the return of the case for a complete review.

Consequently, a new trial will be held for the second and third defendants, effectively restarting the legal process from the beginning. The court’s decision ensures that Asani will serve his sentence, and highlights the ongoing legal proceedings concerning the events at the Struga hospital. Further updates will be provided as the new trial regarding the remaining defendants progresses.
