Doctor Aleksandar Vcev, the head of the medical team in charge of assessing the condition of Glavas, who is being treated in the intensive care unit of the Osijek Clinical Hospital, said on Wednesday that the contents of the letter from the Zagreb Court Glavas received this morning had caused an acute psychological disorder in the patient.
Glavas's lawyers explained that the letter was the latest decision rescinding the ruling made by investigating judge Zdenko Posavec under which Glavas had been released from custody due to his deteriorated health after a 36-day hunger strike.
Dr Vcev said that as soon as he received the court's letter, Glavas refused to get food and therapy intravenously and stopped taking all other food.
Following an intervention by psychiatrist Pavo Filakovic, Glavas's condition was stabilised.
Dr Vcev told reporters that it was inadmissible to deliver letters or other things to patients in the intensive care unit and that the court's letter should have been given to Glavas's lawyers.
The doctor labelled as preposterous the conduct of those who gave Glavas the letter, adding that he did not know what the letter was about.
Glavas's lawyers Marko Dumancic and Drazen Matijevic said this evening that the manner in which the letter was delivered to their client was entirely unfair and that Glavas was asked by a deliverer to sign a delivery confirmation.
